The Od Force of the leaf, young flowering shoots is used as one of the component in preparation of the remedy.

The Od Force is used to normalize the forceful strengthened of the appetite and weak stomach or to lift the diversion caused from this strengthening. Similarly it can be used for the resulted sufferings from the forceful activities over the swollen veins and capillaries. In such way it involves its extension to the diversion resolved from vein related varicose veins and haemorrhoids as well as eased symptoms of Raynaud’ Syndrome and related vascular diseases. It has a reputation to cause stoppage to the uncontrolled menstruation. It withdraws the forceful activities over the period applied for regularization. It has connected itself with the menstrual disruption caused from anxiety by bringing back mental anxiety. It controls the excessive digestive secretion. It withdraws the sufferings caused from unusual stoppage of flatulence and cramp, convulsion.

As it is antiemmenagogue its use in pregnancy period has no any problem. It is also suitable in children ages. It is extremely useable in sciatica pain. It escorts the human system from diversions caused from inflammation of eyes, pimples.  It cures nausea. It withdraws the diversion from pain, forceful dispersing swellings or stopping the progress of gangrene.

It has strong influence over the functional dependency between digestive tract and gall bladder. In such way it has connected itself in the mutuality between the gall bladder and heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome. It imposes the normalcy in the in digestion and liver functions by dragging increased secretions in the stomach and intestine. It applies its dragging effects on the stimulated uterus to discourage the menstrual flow. It withdraws the forcefulness over the liver, heart etc. caused from lowering fevers, relaxed spasms. It is easily used for the face or on the moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them or from genital/anal warts.

It has involved in neuroprotection while there needs more stringency in estrogenicity requirements, lacking of estrogen receptors and  non- antagonizing by anti-estrogens, treatment with estrogens resulting in a neuronal type-independent neuronal protection from ischemic insult. Potential mechanisms of actions that may be involved in the neuroprotective effects (i) estrogen redox cycling that potently inhibits oxidative stress; (ii) interactions with signal transduction pathways including the transcription factor cAMP response element binding protein; and (iii) induction of anti-apoptotic proteins. These signaling pathways may individually or collectively contribute to the plethora of neuronal cell types that are protected from a variety of insults by estrogen-like compounds.

It plays an important role in withdrawing the stress caused from chemistry resulted from cancer prevention and treatment, in the diversions from various bioactivity chemopreventive properties (e.g., antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, or antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory effects) contributing to their inducing apoptosis by arresting cell cycle, functioning towards the halt of carcinogen metabolism and ontogenesis expression, inhibiting DNA binding and cell adhesion, migration, proliferation or differentiation, and blocking signaling pathways.
