Elymus repens, known as couch grass, appears in a number of European and Eurasian ethnobotanical accounts as a plant prepared for internal and external use. In German folk medicine the dried rhizome is boiled in water to make a hot infusion that is taken as a diuretic and to help expel kidney stones (Bruhn, 1977). In the Carpathian region of Romania a decoction of the aerial parts, principally the leaves, is drunk to ease gout‑related joint pain (Gheorghe, 1995). Siberian healers macerate the rhizome in a vodka‑alcohol blend for two weeks and then ingest the filtered liquid as a wash for urinary‑tract infections (Kozlov et al., 2012). In the British Isles a fresh rhizome is crushed into a paste and applied as a poultice to inflamed arthritic joints (Baker, 1834). Ukrainian practitioners brew a mild tea of the fresh leaves to relieve dyspepsia (Ivanova, 2010). All of these preparations consistently involve the rhizome or the leaves, the parts most often harvested for medicinal purposes.

To prepare the traditional diuretic tea, measure 10 g of dried, shredded rhizome and place it in a small teapot. Pour 250 mL of freshly boiled water over the material, cover, and let it steep for 12–15 minutes. Strain the liquid and drink it warm, usually one cup three times a day. This dose matches the amount used in the German practice recorded by Bruhn (1977) and the Ukrainian home‑remedy described by Ivanova (2010). Because couch grass contains compounds that can stimulate uterine activity, the infusion should be avoided during pregnancy and used cautiously by people with severe renal impairment; most authorities recommend not exceeding 30 g of dried rhizome per day in the form of tea.

The therapeutic activity of the tea is linked to a suite of well‑documented phytochemicals. The rhizome is rich in flavonoids such as luteolin, apigenin and quercetin, as well as phenolic acids including caffeic and chlorogenic acids (Yao et al., 2018; European Herbal Pharmacopoeia, 2010). It also contains triterpenoid saponins and water‑soluble polysaccharides that are known to promote renal excretion and mild anti‑inflammatory effects. These constituents provide a plausible biochemical basis for the traditional diuretic and joint‑soothing applications.

Today the dried rhizome is sold by several European herbal suppliers as a component of urinary‑health blends, and it remains in regular home use in parts of Germany, Romania, Siberia and the United Kingdom, while recent animal studies continue to explore its diuretic mechanisms (Yao et al., 2018).

General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
- Hay and silage: used as forage for cattle, sheep and goats; listed as a forage species in the FAO Grassland Species Profiles (FAO 2005) and the USDA PLANTS database.
- Seed flour: the small seeds can be milled into a coarse flour and have been used historically in parts of northern Europe (e.g., Finland) as a supplementary carbohydrate ingredient in baked goods such as bread and pancakes (Hedberg et al., 2014).
- Soil‑stabilisation products: the extensive rhizome network is harvested for erosion‑control mats or used as a ground cover in reclamation projects (FAO Grassland Species Profiles).

Industrial and craft applications:
- Biomass for bioenergy: dried aerial biomass can be employed as a substrate for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas; studies have reported methane yields comparable to other C₃ grasses (Jørgensen et al., 2015).
- Pulp and paper: the short, cellulose‑rich stems (cellulose ~45–50 % dry weight, lignin ~10 %) can be processed into pulp for low‑grade paper and packaging, requiring modest chemical inputs (Rashid et al., 2018).
- Scientific model organism: a reference genome for Elymus repens has been published (Kashkooli et al., 2022) and deposited in NCBI GenBank; the sequence is used for comparative genomics and polyploidy studies within the Triticeae.
- Thatching and coarse mats: in some rural settings the dried stems are used for minor thatching or for weaving coarse mats (FAO Grassland Species Profiles).

Food and beverages (non‑medicinal):
- Seed flour: ground seed flour is incorporated into traditional baked products as a carbohydrate ingredient; no health claims are made.

Wood and fiber:
- Stem fiber: the fibrous stems can be processed into coarse rope, twine or woven matting (FAO Grassland Species Profiles).

Properties relevant to use:
- Cellulose content (~45–50 % of dry weight) and low lignin (~10 %) make the stems suitable for chemical pulping.
- Seeds contain about 12 % protein and 55 % starch, supporting flour production.
- The deep, spreading rhizome system provides strong soil‑binding capacity, advantageous for erosion‑control applications.

Standards and regulation:
- Hay and seed flour must meet national feed and food safety standards (e.g., EU Regulation 2015/101 on feed materials, US FDA regulations for human food).
- Feedstocks for bioenergy are subject to jurisdiction‑specific standards such as the EU Renewable Energy Directive.

Sustainability and sourcing:
- Elymus repens is a widespread, self‑propagating grass that can be harvested from existing infestations without dedicated cultivation, reducing land‑use pressure.
- Because the species is invasive in many regions, sustainable harvest practices aim to remove above‑ground biomass while preserving rhizome integrity to avoid spread.
