Information on Chills
| Description |
Treatment Plan |
| Chills are a defense mechanism of the body used to generate heat, raise the body temperature and fight infection, or as a response to exposure to cold. |
For chills as a response to infections, use antibacterial or antiviral herbs and warming immune stimulants. For exposure to cold, hot metabolic stimulants may be useful, as well as a circulatory stimulant. |
