Cyperus scariosus
Ayurvedic cooling aromatic sedge used for fever, digestive conditions, and urinary complaints; different from C. rotundus.
Nagarmotha (Cyperus scariosus) is an aromatic sedge used in Ayurveda for its cooling and digestive properties, traditionally employed for fevers, digestive complaints, and urinary issues. Key bioactive compounds include sesquiterpenes such as alpha-cyperone, beta-selinene, and cyperene, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal effects. Despite limited modern evidence, it remains a valued herb in Ayurvedic practice.
The anti-inflammatory activity is attributed to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial effects involve disruption of microbial cell membranes by sesquiterpenes, particularly alpha-cyperone. Digestive benefits may stem from carminative and spasmolytic actions on gastrointestinal smooth muscle, possibly via modulation of calcium channels and nitric oxide pathways.
