Description

Dog Grass Root
Scientific Name: Agropyron repens (syn. Elymus repens)
Common Name: Couch grass / Quackgrass root

Mild, earthy, and traditionally cleansing, dog grass root is the rhizome of a hardy perennial grass found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. Harvested from Elymus repens, it has a long history in European folk herbalism, especially in preparations focused on urinary and fluid balance traditions.

Plant Description:
Dog grass (couch grass) is a creeping perennial grass in the Poaceae family. It spreads through long, underground rhizomes that are pale yellow to tan and slightly sweet when dried. The above-ground blades resemble common lawn grass, making the plant widespread and easily recognizable in fields and disturbed soils.

Traditional Uses:
Dog grass root has been used in European folk herbalism for centuries. It has traditionally been prepared as a decoction or infusion and used in gentle cleansing and seasonal wellness routines. It has also been included in traditional herbal blends for urinary comfort and fluid balance support.

Benefits:

Traditionally supports urinary tract comfort
Mild diuretic herb in folk herbal use
Supports gentle fluid balance in traditional systems
Traditionally used in cleansing and detox-style herbal teas
Soothing, mucilage-containing root
May support kidney and bladder wellness traditions
Long history in European herbal medicine

Preparation Suggestions:
Dog grass root is commonly prepared as a decoction by simmering 1–2 teaspoons of dried rhizome in water for 15–30 minutes. It can also be combined with herbs like corn silk, nettle leaf, or marshmallow root in gentle urinary support blends.

Cautions:
Generally considered safe in moderate use. May increase urination due to mild diuretic activity, so maintain hydration. Use caution if pregnant, nursing, or taking diuretic medications.
