Synopsis

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

Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as Bermuda grass or "Durva" in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda, has been used historically in various folk remedies, including for eye infections. Descriptions in traditional Indian medicine include the topical application of its juice or decoction to soothe inflammation or conjunctivitis. However, these uses are primarily based on anecdotal evidence passed down through generations, rather than on controlled scientific research.

A review of modern scientific literature reveals minimal to no rigorous studies that evaluate the efficacy of Cynodon dactylon for treating eye infections specifically. While some laboratory research indicates that extracts from this plant possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, these findings have not been directly linked to outcomes in human eye infections. No clinical trials or standardized protocols exist for its ophthalmic use in the biomedical literature.

Therefore, while Cynodon dactylon is traditionally used for eye conditions in some cultures, there is insufficient scientific validation to support its effectiveness or safety for this indication. Its use should be considered with caution, and medical advice should be sought for eye infections.
