In reality, the infusions made from flowers and seeds, leaves or stems are widely used to treat tuberculosis, jaundice, muscle crampshigh blood pressure, diabetesviral hepatitis, dysentery, and diarrhea. The leaves, roots, and bark are used as an emetic for snakebites, bee and scorpion stings. It is also known for its mild psychoactive properties.
