History and Uses:
Couchgrass is a native of Europe, Asia and North America, and the parts of the plant that are used medicinally are the root and seeds. One of its genus names, Agropyron, is derived from a combination of Greek words meaning "wheat fields" and has long been used effectively for the relief of urinary infections, such as cystitis, urethritis and prostatitis. Couchgrass was an official plant in the "Indian and Colonial Addendum" of the British Pharmacopoeia for use in the Australasian, Eastern and North American colonies, where it was much employed. Its high mucilage content makes it soothing to mucous membranes, and those demulcent properties help to soothe irritation and inflammation. It is also said to be useful in the treatment of enlarged prostate glands and may be used in cases of kidney stones and gravel. As a tonic diuretic, Couchgrass has been used with other herbs in the treatment of rheumatism and has been recommended as a support treatment for gout. For urinary tract infections, Couchgrass has been used with Buchu, Uva Ursi or Yarrow and has also been combined with Hydrangea for prostate problems.

Recommended Dosage:
Take two (2) capsules, one (1) time each day with water at mealtime.

Contraindications:
Currently, there are no known warnings or contraindications with the use of Couchgrass; however, because it is an effective diuretic, prolonged use may cause low potassium levels in the body.
