Tribals in Dangs crush seeds of Seetaphal and add the powder in coconut oil and apply over the head. According to them, it kills the lice. Tribal women apply it for cleaning and washing their hair. Juice of Seetaphal leaf, if applied over wound, heals it fast. In case of epilepsy/mirgi , if leaves are rub near the nostrils, it minimizes the effect.
