Folk medicinal uses

For colds this plant is made into a tea, either alone or with other cold bushes. The leaves are tied on the head for headache and Beckwith says the warmed leaf is applied for lameness, In Lunan's time the root was used for boils. In parts of Africa the leaves are boiled as a vegetable, and as a remedy for tapeworm while the roots are used for rheumatism. The leaves and berries contain a pungent volatile oil about which little is known.
