Dominican Medicinal Uses: The leaves are traditionally boiled in water and taken as a tea or bath for skin conditions including rash, papules, pustules, measles and chicken pox. Clinical Data: In human clinical trials, isolated plant constituents (alkaloids) have been investigated for their anti-cancer effects. Laboratory & Preclinical Data: The leaves have shown anti-inflammatory activity in animal studies, and the ethanolic extract has shown wound-healing effects. In vitro, plant extracts have demonstrated antitumor activity. (Source: Dominican Medicinal Plants: A Guide for Health Care Providers)

Action: Plant—diuretic, astringent, emollient, vulnerary. Used as a local application for ulcers, wounds, sores, gum boils and skin affections. Decoction of leaves is used in urticaria and fevers; that of root in coughs. Flowers—emmenagogue in small doses, abortifacient in large doses. Masticated seeds— stomachic. The inflorescences are used by tribals for scorpion bite. The aqueous and alcohol extracts of the plant possess oxytocic activity. The roots contain significant amounts of estradiol, a sex hormone. (Indian Medicinal Plants)
Uses: In Burma, a decoction of the plant is used to treat gonorrhea. In Indonesia, an infusion of the leaves is used to soothe mouth sprue. In Malaysia, a paste of the plant is used to reduce urination, to counteract putrefaction, to treat pyoderma and ringworm infection, and to soothe irritated skin. The plant is used to combat fever, to soothe inflammation, to treat orchit, pneumonia and pulmonary abscesses, to heal ulcers and to assuage liver discomfort. In the Philippines, a decoction of the dried roots is drunk to promote menses. The seeds are used to promote digestion and the leaves are used to treat cholera, malaria, to counteract putrefaction and to heal wounds. (Medicinal plants of the aisa-pacific: drugs for the future?)
This species is occasionally used in Jamaica in the same way as H. parviflorum. Lunan claimed that a decoction is diuretic; that the plant makes a cleansing and healing dressing for wounds and ulcers; and that it may be boiled with coconut oil to make a plaster for scorpion stings and dog bites. In Africa and India it has been employed in the treatment of fevers. skin complaints. boils. sores. ophthalmia. head lice and insect bites. (Medlcinal Plants of Jamaica. Parts I&II)
Indications: Oliguria, haematuria as anti - inflammatory agent and oedema due to renal diseases and other causes. (Medicinal Plants of Myanmar)
