A decoction is used in the treatment of rheumatoid numbness and pain, lumbago due to deficient kidney function, strained back muscles, fractures, torsion injuries and haemorrhage due to wound injuries[1]. The bark and roots are used for the treatment of infantile paralysis, rheumatalgia, injury, and fractures[2].
