Its strong astringent action is used to contract and toughen mucous membranes throughout the body in much the same way as witch hazel or oak bark. Black Catechu is used internally for chronic catarrh of the mucous membranes, dysentery, and bleeding. In Chinese medicine it is used for poorly healing ulcers, weeping skin diseases, oral ulcers with bleeding, and traumatic injuries. A small piece of cutch can be dissolved in the mouth to stop bleeding gums or heal canker sores.

An infusion of the flowers and leaves is taken for gastrointestinal inflammations. The flowers are also sedating. The roots make a mucilaginous tea that is both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
