Rating (out of 5): 1

Rhemannia, particularly Rehmannia glutinosa, is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb commonly used in various herbal formulas. Its use to support or treat "chills" is primarily rooted in traditional medicine, especially within the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, chills can be associated with "cold" syndromes, including patterns of deficiency or imbalance in the body's yin and yang. Rehmannia is often included in formulas aimed at nourishing yin or replenishing blood, which are believed to help address sensations of coldness or chills, particularly in chronic conditions or recovery from illness. However, there is limited direct scientific research specifically examining Rehmannia's effects on chills as understood in Western medicine (e.g., shivering due to infection or temperature). Most available scientific studies on Rehmannia focus on its broader effects, such as anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, or blood sugar-regulating properties, not on thermoregulation or chills. Therefore, while its use for chills is well-established within traditional systems, there is little to no scientific validation for this specific application.
