For snakebite, root decoction drunk; roots mixed with those of Diospyros scabra, boiled and used to treat tuberculosis; roots boiled in milk and given to children as a tonic; roots for bone fracture. Seeds known for their con- stipating property and ingesting large amounts may lead to serious severe constipation. [CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants]
