Ethnomedicinal uses: 100 g of powder of dried tuber is mixed in “Khowa” (concentrated milk) prepared from 5 L of buffalo milk and eaten early in the morning by tribals for 7 d as an eye tonic and also to treat fatigue. One teaspoon of root powder is taken orally by tribal women for 7 to 10 d to treat leucorrhoea and menorrhagia. A powder of the tuber is given orally to children to treat rickets. A tuber extract is applied locally to treat gonorrhoea and syphilis. A decoction of the tuber is given to children as a tonic and also to treat filariasis.

Nervine, adaptogenic, sedative, anticonvulsive, androgenic, anti-inflammatory and diuretic. Used in Jaundice, urinary disorders, skin diseases and asthma. Mucilaginous. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]

It helps in polyurea, dysuria, gonorrhoea, menorrhagia, leucorrhoea and piles. It is considered a nutritive and aphrodisiac, for which 3–6 g of root powder is given twice daily. It is used for gastroenteritis, hepatitis and as an anti-inflammatory agent. For most of the  diseases,  25–50  g  of  dry  root  in  powdered  form  is  boiled  in  milk,  with  sugar according to taste. In this way it exudes mucilage and has a demulcent activity, which helps convalescent geriatric patients. [Rasayana: Ayurvedic Herbs for Longevity and Rejuvenation]
