A decoction of the leaves with twigs (Anguraté, Mentzelia herba) is traditionally used in mild gastrointestinal disorders such as indigestion, bloating, occasional heartburn, for gastric cramps, also after drinking alcohol. The infusion is used as a traditional medicine, exclusively based upon long-standing experience of application. Compounds found in the leaves include bitter tasting iridoids like mentzeloside and mentzefoliol, 7-chlorodeutziol, cumarines like scopoletin, flavanoids, and traces of an essential oil.\\
