A new study conducted by doctors of University of Nigeria has found out that extracts of leaves of A. Africana have good potentials for use in wound care. These leaves not only stop bleeding but block infection and speed wound healing. The extract and the fractions of the plant considerably reduced bleeding and clotting time in rats, the researchers found, with the methanol fraction having the strongest effect. Analysis of the plant extracts and fractions identified a variety of plant components like saponins and tannins that could be responsible for its medicinal properties.

The leaves and flowers of A. Africana, a bristle-covered herb known as the hemorrhage plant, have been used to stanch bleeding, remove foreign bodies from the eyes, treat scorpion stings, and for several other purposes across the African continent.
