In small amount it increases ''kshudha'' (appetite), removes ''vibandha'' (constipation). In high dose it is ''vamaka'' and ''virechaka''. ''Jalodara'' (ascites) occurring due to hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, tincture (1:20) of its all five parts are used. The fruit destroys bad taste in mouth; ''Jwara'' (fever), ''shirashoola'' (headache). Fruit is violently ''vamaka'' (emetic). The entire plant is said to possess laxative and purgative properties and is also said to be useful in ''twaka vikara'' (skin diseases) and ''shwasa'' (asthma). It is said to be an antidote for snake poisoning. Cures ''vata, kapha, pandu'' (anemia), ''yakrata vikara'' (liver complaints), ''shwitra'' (leucoderma), ''arsha'' (piles), ''jalodara'' (ascites), ''kamala'' (jaundice). <ref>Bhavamishra,Bhava Prakash Nighantu In: Prof. K.C.
