The fruits are rich in pectin which is a capillary tonic, antioedemic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and hypotensive[15]. Pectin also inhibits carcinogenesis and protects against radiation[15].
A tea made from the roots has been used to treat infant colic[14]. The mashed roots have been strained through a clean cloth and the liquid used as an eyewash for sore eyes and to remove foreign objects from the eyes[13].Unknown part
