Traditional uses
Urinary and kidney issues: Gravel root was traditionally employed as a diuretic to increase urine flow, which was believed to flush out the urinary tract and expel kidney or bladder stones. Herbalists used it for conditions such as cystitis, urethritis, painful urination (dysuria), and bedwetting.
Musculoskeletal pain: Due to its anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects, the herb has been used to treat gout, rheumatism, and arthritis. The idea was that its action on the kidneys would help the body expel the waste products responsible for joint pain.

Reproductive health: In traditional practices, gravel root was used as a uterine tonic and in formulations to help prepare the womb for labor.
