Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in parts of India and Africa, for a variety of ailments, including as a remedy for colds and fevers. Folk medicine practitioners have employed the juice or decoction of Bermuda Grass as a cooling agent, believed to help reduce fever and soothe symptoms associated with colds. However, these uses are largely based on anecdotal evidence and historical practice rather than on rigorous scientific validation.

Scientific studies focusing specifically on the effect of Bermuda Grass on colds or fever are lacking. While a few laboratory studies have explored the plant’s general antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, there is no direct clinical evidence supporting its efficacy in treating viral infections or fever in humans. As such, the use of Bermuda Grass for colds with fever is best understood as part of traditional herbal practice, with very limited empirical support.

In summary, the use of Bermuda Grass for colds and fever is justified by tradition, but the evidence base remains weak, and it should not be considered a scientifically validated treatment for these conditions.
