The leaves are the part we use. I shall simply speak of its most important medical power, and that is, its power to check hemorrhages occurring from cuts, the lungs and the bowels.

Medical properties and uses. -- A cold tea made from the leaves will check hemorrhages from the lungs and bowels, using in connection with it cloths dipped in cold water, applied to the breast and the bowels. When a small artery or vein is bleeding from the effects of a cut or wound, take the powdered or pulverized leaves and pack the wound with them, tying a string or handkerchief tightly about the limb above the wound. This modus operandi will check any common or ordinary hemorrhage from wounds. To make a tea, use it the same as you would store or sage tea, and use it cold.
