In traditional use, Herb of Rough Melic is commonly prepared as a herbal infusion or decoction, allowing its naturally occurring plant compounds to be extracted into a mild herbal tea. It has historically been used to support healthy urinary function, encourage normal fluid metabolism, and promote digestive comfort, particularly during periods of excess internal heat or seasonal discomfort.

Modern research on Melica scabrosa remains limited; however, the plant naturally contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant phytochemicals that are associated with antioxidant and plant-protective properties.
