Agriculturalists often call Nutgrass the "world's worst weed" because it is incredibly hardy and difficult to eradicate. This actually adds to its "miracle" status in your story—the idea that a plant most people try to kill is actually the one that can heal.
2. Traditional Uses for Thyroid and Goiter
In traditional systems, Nutgrass is prized for its ability to "scrape" away stagnation (a concept in Ayurveda known as Lekhaniya). In Ayurveda: It is used to balance Kapha and Pitta doshas. Because goiter (swelling of the thyroid) is often seen as a form of "stagnation" or "growth" (Granthi), Nutgrass is traditionally used to reduce swelling and improve metabolic "fire." In TCM: Known as Xiang Fu, it is the primary herb for "moving Qi" (energy). It is frequently used to treat emotional stagnation and physical swellings in the neck and breast areas. 3.
