The tree is known to have multiple uses. While The wood can be used for carpentry, boxes and crates, the leaves are useful as fodder for livestock. The seeds are used for multiple ailments like diarrhea, dysentery and venereal diseases.

The tree is a native of Southern American continent and is being cultivated in India for last few years. The seeds when dried thoroughly are often sold in market as fake Rudraksh hence the name Bhadraksh
