Synopsis

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

Big Quaking Grass (Briza maxima) is referenced in some traditional medicine systems, particularly in regions where the plant is native, such as parts of the Mediterranean. Folk remedies have occasionally used infusions or decoctions of Briza maxima for urinary complaints, including symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, these uses are not widespread in major herbal traditions, and documentation is sparse, often limited to ethnobotanical surveys or anecdotal mentions. There is no robust body of historical texts, such as those from Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurveda, that consistently include Big Quaking Grass for UTI treatment. Furthermore, there is a lack of clinical or preclinical scientific studies validating its efficacy or identifying active compounds relevant to UTIs. Overall, while there is some basis in traditional use, it is very limited, and the evidence supporting its role in treating or supporting urinary tract infections is weak and largely anecdotal.
