The article does the reader a disservice by failing to mention that "Desmostachya bipinnata Stapf is an official drug of ayurvedic pharmacopoeia, belongs to the family of Poaceae/Gramineae. The various parts of this plant were used extensively in Indian traditional and folklore medicine to cure various human ailments like wounds, asthma, thirst, jaundice, vaginal discharges, vesicle calculi, diseases of bladder and skin eruptions, also used as analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic etc. "

There are numerous publications examining its ability to cure diabetes, its anti-oxidant and DNA protection capability, and even Buddha use to sit on a mat woven from this grass when he meditated, according to tradition. 65.255.192.26 (talk) 00:40, 30 May 2015 (UTC) Dr R.A. Schep.Reply
