Pulsatilla traditionally has been used as a sedative and diuretic, as well as to treat insomnia, cough, genitourinary disorders, menstrual irregularities, headache, otitis media, and eye conditions including cataract, glaucoma, iritis, and scleritis. Topically, pulsatilla is used for boils and skin eruptions (Jellin et al, 2008).
