Brachiaria brizantha

Brachiaria brizantha, also known as tropical panic grass, is a type of grass native to tropical regions of Central and South America.

The plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which are derived from its saponins and flavonoids.

Brachiaria brizantha has been traditionally used to treat various health issues, including fever, cough, and respiratory problems, and has been shown to exhibit potential health benefits such as antioxidant and immune-boosting effects.

The plant is often prepared as a decoction or infusion for herbal remedies, and can also be found in supplement form, although further research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety.
