Seeds have anthelmintic property especially for roundworms and tapeworms.[ Ashish Mishra*, Saket Verma, , Abhinav Prasoon Mishra, A Plant Review: Butea Monosperma (Lam.)

Symptoms of anuria or retention of urine condition in animal are inflamed urethra, severe pain and disinterest in feeds and fluids. The animal prefers to lie prostrate in one place. Its hair remain raised and its milk yield and working efficiency is affected, giving loss to the farmer. As a remedy to treat this condition, the farmer extracts juice out of 1 kg roots of bastard teak (Butea monosperma) and administers it to the animal. This facilitates urination in animal and it gets cured of anuria. This is a traditional practice learnt from forefathers, and used by about 50% of the villagers in this area since many years. |
