He said that it is used in many types of diseases such as toothache, joint pain, fever, skin disease, snake or scorpion bite.
Tooth ache: The drug made from its root gives relief in toothache. He told that if the right tootha is having pain, then it will be applied in the left thumb and if the left toothache is having pain, then the leaf of its leaf will be applied in the right thumb, which will give relief in the pain. This is done because it is quite toxic.
