It supports lung function by helping to relax airway muscles and promoting mucus clearance. Also studied for potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, making it relevant in formulations targeting respiratory infections. Investigated for possible use in fertility regulation due to its uterine stimulant activity, though this application requires further clinical validation.
