While the leaves are used as 

 a bowel medicine, it is 

 mostly employed as a rem- 

 edy for burns. For this the 

 roots are used. The roots 

 are first freed from dirt 

 and epidermis and then 

 boiled to a pulp, which is 

 applied as a salve to the 

 burned portion, as is de-

 seemed efficacious in cases 

 observed.
