Used in traditional medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly in formulations targeting joint pain and muscle discomfort. Shows potential in early research for modulating certain enzyme activities involved in inflammatory pathways. Investigated for possible neuroprotective effects due to its interaction with central nervous system receptors. Also explored for antimicrobial activity against select pathogens in preliminary in vitro studies. Currently not approved in mainstream pharmaceuticals, but of interest in natural product chemistry and drug discovery efforts.
