Used in traditional medicine for its neuroactive properties, particularly in formulations aimed at calming the nervous system. It has been studied for potential anticonvulsant and analgesic effects, showing promise in managing seizures and pain in preclinical models. Also investigated for its ability to modulate ion channels in nerve cells, which may contribute to its physiological effects. Due to its natural origin and bioactivity, it serves as a lead compound in the development of new neurological agents.
