Rating (out of 5): 1

Quince (Cydonia oblonga) has been used in various traditional medicine systems, such as Persian and Unani medicine, primarily for digestive issues, respiratory ailments, and as a general tonic. Its use for treating or supporting "chills" appears to be based on traditional beliefs rather than robust scientific evidence. In traditional herbal medicine, "chills" are often considered a symptom of underlying imbalances or the onset of febrile illnesses, and warming or tonic herbs like quince may be recommended to help restore balance and comfort. However, references specifically connecting quince with the treatment of chills are sparse and largely anecdotal. Most often, quince is mentioned for its soothing effects on the throat, cough, or as a mild anti-inflammatory rather than as a direct remedy for chills. There is little to no clinical or preclinical data validating the use of quince for chills, and authoritative herbal compendiums do not list it as a primary remedy for this symptom. Thus, while its use may have some basis in traditional practices, the evidence is weak and not substantiated by modern scientific research.
