Pharmaceutical Use
A decoction of the inner bark and fresh leaves is used as a treatment for diarrhoea.
A brew of small sections of the bark is taken to treat stomach-ache.
A crude aqueous or alcoholic extract of the leaves is observed to have an inhibiting effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The alkaloid fraction of the leaves is effective on the CNS and PNS. An infusion of the leaves is used as a laxative.
A decoction of the fresh material is used as a wash in the treatment of skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema and pruritus.
The fruit decoction is used as a CNS-sedative.
The seeds are chewed for treating a sore throat.
