Its bark is commonly used in traditional medicine and modern supplements to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and other urinary disorders. The extract is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may also contribute to its use in promoting hair health and potentially addressing conditions like alopecia.
