 The  seeds  are  mucilaginous  and  laxative.  They are  considered  to  be  useful  in  the  treatment  of constipation and other intestinal affections; made into a paste, they are a useful cleansing application in foul and indolent ulcers.  [Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal
Plants Vol-2]

Seeds—mostly used as a pulse. Contain as much as 30% proteins (similar to those of peas and beans). Soup is used in gastric troubles and constipation. Paste or poultice is applied to foul and indolent ulcers. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]
