Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Big Quaking Grass (Briza maxima) has a history of use in some traditional medicine practices, particularly in certain parts of Europe and Asia, where it has been used as a mild diuretic and for soothing urinary tract discomfort. However, the documentation of its use for treating or supporting bladder infections (urinary tract infections, UTIs) is sparse and largely anecdotal. Most references to its medicinal uses come from ethnobotanical surveys or older herbal texts, which may mention its application in folk remedies for mild urinary complaints, but rarely specifically for acute bladder infections.

There is currently no robust scientific evidence (such as clinical trials or pharmacological studies) demonstrating that Big Quaking Grass possesses antibacterial properties or efficacy in treating UTIs. Modern phytotherapy sources and pharmacopoeias do not list it as a recommended agent for bladder infections. Therefore, its use is primarily justified by tradition, not by scientific validation. The strength of evidence supporting its use for this purpose is weak, meriting a score of 1 out of 5, as it is based mostly on traditional reports without substantiation from scientific research.
