"Studies on induced oedema and arthritis and on human arthritis proved anti-inflammatory
potency of the water extract of plant. It also has antipyretic action and is
a morphine potentiator. It induced reduction in blood sugar in alloxan
induced hyperglycaemic rats and rabbits. This drug relaxes the intestinal
and uterine smooth muscles. Blood urea levels in uraemic dogs and human
subjects were also decreased. It is proved effective in prevention of
fibrosis and in stimulating regeneration in hepatic tissue."
