The fresh extract is diuretic and used in cleaning skin of the human body. It removes diarrhoea and dysentery. The fresh juice is very effective in gonorrhoea when taken with honey and turmeric. The decoction of seeds is bitter, strengthening and expels blood dysentery. The fresh fruit is refrigerant, tonic, antiscorbutic, diuretic and laxative. It is used in fevers, hiccough, eczema, vomiting, indigestion, habitual constipation and other disorders of the digestive system. It is a blood-purifier; also given in diarrhoea, dysentery and haemorrhage.
