The root counters excess stomach acid, peptic ulceration and gastritis.
It is also applied externally to bruises, sprains, aching muscles, insect bites, skin inflammations, splinters etc.
The whole plant, but especially the root, is antitussive, demulcent, diuretic, highly emollient, slightly laxative and odontalgic. An infusion of the leaves is used to treat cystitis and frequent urination.
The root can be used in an ointment for treating boils and abscesses.
