Used in Pneumonia, rheumatism, fevers, wounds, malaria, colds, dysentery, enteritis, goiter, indigestion, coughs, leukorrhea, rheumatism, tonsillitis, respiratory diseases. [Handbook of African Medicinal Plants, Second Edition]

 Whole  plant boiled  in sesamum oil is  applied externally  on  rheumatic  pains  by  the  tribals  in  Western  Maharashtra. Modern  Use  :  Roots  are  externally  used  as  embrocation  in  rheumatism. [Herbal Cures: Traditional Approach]

Root—diuretic, emollient, antispasmodic (roots and stem used in severe windy colic), antirheumatic. Flowers—used as a pectoral and expectorant in dry and inveterate coughs. An infusion is used as a gargle for aphthae amd sore throat. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]

This plant is used to make tea for colds and is also employed by the poorer people for washing greasy
dishes. Among the older writers we find Lindley speaking of the use of the flowers as an expectorant for "dry and inveterate coughs". Like other members of the Malvaceae it is mucilaginous and the seeds contain urease and fat. In tropical South America it provides a sedative and in Brazil a root and stem decoction is a treatment for colic. [ Medicinal Plants of Jamaica]

Used  to  treat  “lining  cold”  (puerperal  fever)  in  NW  Guyana.  Flower: Employed in French Guiana in a gargle used to remedy angina and aphthae. Emollient. In Guyana, boiled to make a tea used to remedy urinary tract problems, morning sickness and colds. [Medicinal Plants of the Guianas (Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana)]

Dysentery, vaginal discharge, antitoxic; alleviates pain, flu, fever, appendicitis, stomach diseases [Taiwanese Native Medicinal Plants: Phytopharmacology and Therapeutic Values]
