Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and folk remedies in India and other parts of Asia. It is commonly used as a diuretic and has been employed in the management of urinary tract issues, including bladder infections. Traditional practitioners claim that Bermuda Grass juice or decoctions can help "cleanse" the urinary tract, reduce inflammation, and promote urine flow, which are believed to assist in relieving symptoms of bladder infection (cystitis).

However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. Some preliminary laboratory studies have shown that extracts of Cynodon dactylon may possess mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, but these studies are generally not specific to bladder infections and are often conducted in vitro or in animal models. There is currently a lack of high-quality clinical trials in humans that directly support the efficacy of Bermuda Grass for treating or preventing bladder infections. As such, its use is primarily justified by traditional knowledge, and the evidence score reflects the absence of robust clinical validation. Anyone considering Bermuda Grass for bladder health should consult a healthcare provider and not rely solely on traditional remedies in place of proven medical treatments.
