The seeds..
The seeds may be consumed after drying or may form part of herbal combinations and ingested as capsules, extracts or tablets.
The seeds are used, sometimes in conjunction with other herbs, (such as Saw Palmetto or Pygeum, for example), to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous inflammation of the prostate gland. The seeds have also traditionally been used to expel intestinal worms, to treat childhood bed-wetting, as a mild laxative, against asthma and mild pulmonary ailments.
