This highly medicinal species has been traditionally used in Asia (roots, floral somités and seeds) for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties. It contains, for example, two flavonoids, rutin and quercetin, renowned for their antioxidant properties. It has also been used to treat malaria, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, hypertension, male impotence, uterine hemorrhage, diabetes, cardiovascular disease... According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, its seeds are aphrodisiac and regenerative, and the whole dried plant is considered a general tonic. Traditionally, the juice of the fresh plant is used to stop bleeding, psoriasis, chronic skin eruptions, scabies and menstrual pain. It is not recommended for use by pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy. This species is also known as "little marie-jeanne", as its leaves are smoked or infused in herbal teas for their mildly psychoactive and sedative effects - one to two grams of dried leaves sprayed in a glass of water for one to three hours. The plant also has allelopathic effects. For example, its presence inhibits the germination of lettuces, corn and tomatoes, but not of watercress or radishes. On the other hand, its presence promotes germination of rice, wheat and mustard.

Sow in autumn or spring. Germination takes two to three weeks at 18/20°C, and it is advisable not to cover the seeds. They can also be refrigerated for a few weeks before sowing, to break any potential dormancy.

In very temperate regions, this species can become perennial. For pot cultivation, it is advisable to bring the plants indoors in winter.
