Synopsis

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

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in India’s Ayurveda, where it is employed for a variety of ailments, including eye conditions like conjunctivitis. Folk remedies often recommend the use of Bermuda Grass juice or poultices for washing or soothing inflamed eyes, based on its perceived cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. However, scientific validation for these uses is minimal. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies specifically examining its efficacy in treating conjunctivitis. Most reports of its use are anecdotal or found in ethnobotanical surveys and traditional medical texts. Some laboratory research has indicated that extracts of Cynodon dactylon possess general anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities, but these findings have not been directly linked to conjunctivitis treatment nor confirmed in human subjects. Therefore, while the traditional use of Bermuda Grass for conjunctivitis is well-documented, scientific evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness for this specific condition is very weak or absent. Individuals should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals before using such remedies.
