Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Indian Kinotree (Pterocarpus marsupium) has a long history of use in traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine, primarily for its astringent, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The resin (kino) and bark have been used to treat a variety of conditions, but specific references to its use for "chills"—a symptom commonly associated with fever or infections—are limited and generally anecdotal. Traditional texts sometimes mention its use in managing fevers, which can be accompanied by chills, suggesting that it may have been indirectly used for this purpose. However, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence or clinical studies directly supporting the efficacy of Indian Kinotree in treating chills specifically. Most modern research on Pterocarpus marsupium centers on its antidiabetic and antioxidant effects. In summary, while the use of Indian Kinotree for chills is supported by tradition in the context of fever management, there is minimal direct evidence, and the overall support for its use in chills is weak and primarily historical.
