Paragis Tea: The Traditional Herb Behind Kidney & Urinary Wellness
Cynodon dactylon — the roadside "miracle grass" used across Asia to support the kidneys and ease urinary discomfort.
What Is Paragis?
Paragis is the Filipino name for Cynodon dactylon — also called Bermuda grass or dog's tooth grass. It grows almost anywhere, which is why it was long dismissed as "just a weed."
Across the Philippines, India, and parts of Africa, it holds a long-standing place in folk and Ayurvedic practice as a gentle diuretic tonic, brewed simply as a boiled-leaf tea.
Kidney & Urinary Benefits
Paragis's core trait: it's a natural diuretic. Traditional use holds that it encourages the body to pass urine more freely, supporting the kidneys' daily filtering job.
Gentle Diuretic
Encourages healthy urine flow, helping flush water-soluble waste.
Urinary Comfort
Traditional decoction used regularly to ease everyday urinary discomfort.
Antioxidant Flavonoids
Vitexin and isovitexin, studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Trace Minerals
Potassium, calcium, and magnesium tied to general kidney wellbeing.
What the Research Shows
