Name: Coco grass

Other Names: Cyperus rotundus, Red nut sedge, Sedge, Purple nut

Description: Coco grass is also known as Red nut sedge, Sedge, Cyperus rotundus and purple nut is a species of Cyperaceae family and is native to Africa, southern and central Europe (north to France and Austria), and southern Asia. Coco-grass is a perennial plant, that may reach a height of up to 40 cm. The names nut grass and nut sedge are derived from its tubers, that somewhat resemble nuts.

The plant is used in popular medicine:
* In the Traditional Chinese medicine Coco-grass is considered the primary qi regulating herb.
* The plant is mentioned in the ancient Indian ayurvedic medicine Charaka Samhita (ca. 100 A.D.). Modern ayurvedic medicine uses the plant for treating fevers, digestive system disorders, dysmenorrhea and other maladies.
* Arabs of the Land of Israel traditionally use roasted tubers, while they are still hot, or hot ashes from burned tubers, to treat wounds, bruises, carbuncles, etc. Modern alternative medicine recommends using the plant to treat nausea, fever and inflammation; for pain reduction; for muscle relaxation and many other disorders.

Several pharmacologically active substances have been identified in Coco-grass: α-cyperone, β-selinene, cyperene, cyperotundone, patchoulenone, sugeonol, kobusone, and isokobusone, that may scientifically explain the folk- and alternative-medicine uses.
