  3. Assists in avoiding sick feelings.
  4. Tones and strengthens the abdominal muscles.
  5. To heal conditions related to the lungs.
  6. The treatment of piles.

Methods for effective medical application

  • Ingesting a decoction made from the roots reduces inflammation, soothes sore muscles, and encourages urination.
  • You can treat nausea and vomiting with piles by drinking a decoction made from the bark.
