Synopsis

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

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in India and parts of Africa. In Ayurvedic and folk medicine, decoctions or infusions of Bermuda Grass have been used to alleviate digestive issues, including colic and stomach discomfort. The rationale for this use is largely anecdotal and rooted in traditional herbal practices, where the plant is believed to have mild anti-inflammatory and soothing properties on the digestive tract.

However, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of Bermuda Grass for treating colic in adults is extremely limited. Few studies have investigated its pharmacological properties, and those that exist primarily focus on antimicrobial, antioxidant, or hypoglycemic effects, not specifically on gastrointestinal complaints or colic. There are no well-designed clinical trials or robust preclinical studies validating its efficacy for this indication in adults.

In summary, the use of Bermuda Grass for adult colic is primarily justified by tradition, particularly in regions where it is a common folk remedy. The supporting evidence is weak, with a rating of 1, as it relies on historical and anecdotal usage rather than scientific validation.
