King Grass Plant – Uses and Health Benefits
As a home-girl, one thing that always comes to my mind when we talk about the King Grass is ‘bush convenience. I mean we used the always fresh and greenly leaves to wipe our buttocks when we finished defecating in the bush. No wonder we are all free from the pile (hormoarage). King Grass Plant – Uses and Health Benefits.

King Grass is regarded as a weed; bush weed at that. Some families fetch it as goat-weed but we don’t. Our Goats don’t eat it. In Igbo dialect, we call the King grass plant Osighi isi or Oloro ofuu. In Yoruba, it is called Ewe Imiesu. The plant is also a first-aid for us back then. Whenever we had a cut or fell from a tree and had wounds; it was king grass we always ran to.
Every child who grew in the village knew how to apply King grass as the first aid on a cut. Just pluck up to 5leaves or as your palms would contain, squeeze them until they produce juice. The juice is then applied to the face of the wound or the cut.
This King grass juice helps in rapid healing and as well helps in clotting if it bleeds. Surprisingly, I found that King grass is also among the best nutritive super vegetable to be used as food, but unknown to the world.
