Synopsis

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

Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurvedic and folk practices in India and other parts of Asia. In these systems, Bermuda Grass has been used as a diuretic and to support urinary tract health, including the management of urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and as a general tonic for the urinary system. The traditional use often involves fresh juice of the grass or decoctions made from its leaves and stems.

However, scientific research validating these uses is limited. A few animal studies have suggested that extracts of Cynodon dactylon may have mild diuretic effects, which could theoretically support urinary function. Some preliminary research also indicates possible anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which might be beneficial for urinary tract health. Despite this, there are no large-scale clinical trials or robust human studies confirming its efficacy or safety for urinary system support. Consequently, the primary justification for its use with respect to the urinary system remains rooted in traditional practices rather than scientific consensus.

In summary, while Bermuda Grass has a well-documented history of traditional use for urinary health, scientific validation of these effects is currently insufficient. Individuals considering its use should consult with qualified healthcare providers, especially given the lack of high-quality evidence.
