ABSTRACT

Bermuda grass, also known as Cynodon dactylon, is a perennial grass that can be found all over the world but is native to warm temperate and tropical climates. In particular, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and triterpenoids were abundant in the plant. The entire C. dactylon plant retains a number of biological functions, including antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, and wound-healing abilities. Additionally, it has a long history of usage in traditional remedies to treat a wide range of conditions, including tumours, warts, dropsy, dysentery, haemorrhage, hypertension, hysteria, measles, and snakebite. Other conditions it has been used to cure include cough, headache, diarrhoea, cramps, epilepsy, dropsy, and dysentery. In light of the foregoing, this article summarises the most recent data on the phytochemical characteristics and pharmacological effects of C. dactylon extract, as well as some of its other applications.
