Infusion of leaves and stems as a tea taken for bowel pains and bloody stools. Additional commentary: For bowel cramps, to stop bloody stools, or for constipation as Wesley White Man suggested, and even colds, the leaves were finely ground, and a pinch of the powder was used to make a tea.76 In addition, Moerman (1998:645) includes this plant among analgesics.77
