Folk medicinal uses

This is used for worms, especially in small children. Beckwith says that a few drops of turpentine are added to the tea made from the plant. Browne also claims that the plant induces sleep almost certainly in an equal degree with opium; but the eyes seem distended and appear bright and sparkling after the sleepy effects are over'. Similar use is made of the herb in Africa.
