In traditional African medicine, various parts of the Marula Tree, including the roots, bark, and leaves, have been used to treat a range of ailments. The roots of the Marula Tree, in particular, have been used to treat conditions such as diarrhea, dysentery, and stomach aches. The root bark is often boiled and used as a decoction or infusion, and may be combined with other herbs to create a medicinal preparation. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic properties, and has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, toothaches, and menstrual cramps.
