Synopsis

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

Cyperus rotundus, commonly known as nut grass or purple nutsedge, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Unani. In these practices, it is used as a tonic to help restore vitality, balance bodily energies, and address symptoms such as fatigue or general weakness. In Ayurveda, Cyperus rotundus is considered to have properties that pacify excess "Vata" and "Pitta," which are doshas associated with energy imbalances, and is often included in formulations intended to boost overall energy and stamina.

However, the scientific evidence supporting Cyperus rotundus for improving energy levels or treating fatigue in humans is limited. Most modern research has focused on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. While some animal studies have suggested possible adaptogenic or anti-stress effects, there is a lack of well-designed clinical trials in humans that directly measure its impact on energy or fatigue. Thus, the use of Cyperus rotundus for supporting energy is primarily based on traditional knowledge rather than contemporary scientific validation.

In summary, Cyperus rotundus is traditionally used to support energy and vitality, but robust clinical evidence for this specific application is lacking. Its continued use for this purpose is rooted in historical and cultural practices rather than modern scientific consensus.
