Traditional Background

Couch Grass (also called Dog Grass or Twitch) has a long history in European and Western herbalism as a gentle urinary and kidney herb. Though often considered a “weed” in the garden, herbalists have valued its soothing and cleansing properties for generations, particularly for the bladder and urinary tract.

Active Constituents

Fructans (triticin, inulin-like compounds): Gentle carbohydrate compounds with demulcent and mildly diuretic actions.

Saponins & mucilage: Help to soothe irritated mucous membranes and support healthy elimination of fluids.

Silica & minerals: Naturally occurring minerals that support tissues of the urinary tract and connective tissues more broadly.

Traditional Uses

Urinary Tract Comfort: Traditionally used to soothe and support the bladder and urinary passages, especially where there is burning, irritation or frequent urination.

Kidney & Fluid Balance: Employed as a mild diuretic to encourage healthy urine flow and assist in the clearance of metabolic wastes.

Cleansing & Skin Support: Because of its gentle “washing” action through the kidneys, Couch Grass has also been used as part of internal cleansing programs that may indirectly support skin clarity and overall detoxification.

Mild diuretic, demulcent, soothing to mucous membranes, urinary tract tonic, gentle alterative, cooling.
