Pharmacology

Medicinal Use

The flowers are used in the treatment of abdominal distension, shortness of breath etc. The bark is used internally in the treatment of abdominal distension, loss of appetite, gastro-enteritis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, amenorrhea, menstrual cramps, asthma and coughs with acute phlegm. It has also been indicated for Alzheimer's disease and is currently getting much press as a "cortisol", a stress hormone-lowering supplement. Cortisol has also been associated with weight gain (particularly fat in the abdominal area), sugar control problems, memory problems, and a host of other stress induced disorders.

Contraindication

Contraindicated for pregnant women.
