There are various types of grass around our home that can be advantageous for health. One such grass is Durva, commonly known as Doob grass or Bermuda grass. Although predominantly used in worship, Ayurveda highly values it for its health benefits.
Durva, rich in medicinal properties, can alleviate severe headaches, migraines, and constipation. Ayurvedacharyas describe Durva as a treasure trove of qualities. When used correctly, it can provide remarkable health benefits.
Health Benefits Of ‘Durva’ Grass
Dr Pramod Anand Tiwari of Babe’s Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Punjab, refers to Doob grass as a storehouse of medicine in Ayurveda. This grass is particularly beneficial for stomach ailments and mental peace.
Drinking Doob juice can resolve anaemia issues and increase haemoglobin levels. Walking barefoot on this grass in the morning and evening can relieve high blood pressure, migraines, and stress, and also improve eyesight.
Nutritional Content And Its Uses
Durva grass contains ample amounts of calcium, iron, phosphorus, fibre, protein, and potassium. Ayurvedacharyas mention that this grass is often found in parks and walking barefoot on it early in the morning can alleviate migraine pain.
Consuming fresh Durva grass juice can prevent numerous problems. Regular use not only boosts immunity but also eases menstrual pain and relieves constipation in women.
For migraines or headaches, walking barefoot in the morning and evening, along with consuming Doob juice, is beneficial. If experiencing cramps, body pain, toothache, gum bleeding, or mouth ulcers, mixing Doob juice with honey or ghee provides immediate relief.
