Eragrostis tenax

Eragrostis tenax, also known as Devil's Grass or Fire Grass, is a perennial grass native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in the coastal areas of Europe and North Africa.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can be attributed to the presence of various flavonoids and phenolic compounds.

The health benefits of Eragrostis tenax include its ability to reduce inflammation, improve respiratory issues, and exhibit antioxidant properties, making it a potential remedy for conditions such as bronchitis and asthma.

Traditionally, the plant is prepared as an infusion or decoction, and its aerial parts can be dried and used in herbal teas, capsules, or tinctures to harness its medicinal properties.
