FAQ:
What is couch grass good for?
Couch grass is traditionally used to support kidney and bladder health, soothe urinary tract infections, and reduce inflammation.
Is it safe to drink every day?
In moderate amounts, yes. However, consult your doctor if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
How do I know I’ve picked the right grass?
Couch grass has creeping underground stems (rhizomes) and long, narrow blades. If unsure, consult a herbalist or botanist before use.
Can I use dried couch grass?
Yes, it can be dried and stored for future infusions. Just be sure it’s properly identified and clean.
Is this really the same grass found in most yards?
Often, yes. It spreads quickly and is considered invasive—but its roots contain valuable compounds like mucilage and triticin.
