Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has been traditionally used in various cultures, particularly in India and other parts of Asia, for its purported hemostatic (bleeding-stopping) properties. Folk medicine sources describe the direct application of fresh juice or a poultice made from Bermuda Grass on minor cuts, wounds, and external bleeding sites to help stop blood flow. The rationale for this use is largely anecdotal and rooted in traditional Ayurvedic and folk practices. Some ancient texts and ethnobotanical surveys mention its use for minor injuries and nosebleeds.

However, scientific evidence supporting this practice is limited. A few in vitro and animal studies suggest that the plant contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins, which may contribute to wound healing or have mild astringent effects. Nevertheless, these studies are preliminary and generally do not focus specifically on hemostatic efficacy in human subjects. There are no robust clinical trials or systematic reviews substantiating the use of Bermuda Grass for stopping external bleeding in humans.

In summary, the use of Bermuda Grass for treating external bleeding is primarily justified by traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation. The evidence supporting its efficacy is weak and largely anecdotal, with limited experimental support and no substantial clinical data.
