The oil from the seeds is taken internally in milk for treating gonorrhoea, externally for treating rheumatism. The seeds are indicated in treating arthrosis, cholecystosis, colics, cystosis, dandruff, dermatosis, diabetes, dislocation, dyslactea, eczema, fungal infections, gonorrhea, ichthyosis, infections, inflammation, mycosis, nephrosis, neuralgia, plantar wart, rheumatism, wart and xeroderma.
