The aim of this research is to develop herbal as a natural drug with minimal side effects Cynodon dactylon is the one of most important traditional medicine used to treat gynecological disorders. Data were collected from scientific article published in Google scholar and PubMed. Objectives are to identify the phytochemical, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effect, and immunomodulatory effects and the effectiveness of the reproductive system. Phytochemicals have a significant antioxidant effect and reduced oxidative stress, inhibition of cytokines such as TNF- α, IL-1β, and IL-6 Plays a major role to reduce complications.
