Dhub Grass




Dhub Grass is found throughout India, up to an altitude of 8,000 ft. It is a robust perennial grass with creeping culms, rooting at nodes, and forming spreading mats on the surface of the soil. Dhub flowers throughout the year.

The plant produces a paste that helps in the immediate stoppage of blood. It is diuretic, and is used in dropsy and anasarca.

It is also known as Hariali and Bahama Grass.
