Couch Grass Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

Native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, Couchgrass (Elymus repens, formerly Agropyron repens)—also known as Dog Grass or Quackgrass—is a resilient perennial grass with sprawling underground rhizomes. While often dismissed by gardeners for its stubborn persistence, Couchgrass has been revered by European herbalists since the classical eras of Dioscorides and Pliny. Packed with soothing triticin (a carbohydrate similar to inulin), natural mucilage, saponins, and mineral silica, Couchgrass Root is prized in Western herbalism as a classic demulcent aquaretic—acting as a comforting, lubricating balm for irritated urinary tract pathways.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Sweet, bland, straw-like, slightly mucilaginous
• Energetics: Cooling, moistening, soothing, demulcent

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Urinary Tract Soothing: Coating and calming raw, irritated mucous membranes throughout the bladder, kidneys, and urinary passages.
• Gentle Fluid Flushing: Encouraging smooth, natural urine flow to flush out metabolic debris without causing renal strain.
• Gout & Uric Acid Clearance: Assisting the kidneys in gently eliminating accumulated metabolic wastes and uric acid.
• Prostate & Lower Pelvic Comfort: Easing mild urinary drag, burning sensations, and urinary frequency held in the lower pelvis.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
