According to the Siddha and Ayurvedic medical systems, it strengthens the nervous system, increases sexual energy, and Leaf extracts minimize ulcers.
From Wikipedia: Huna shamans used them according to various oral histories. The seeds of Argyreia nervosa produce psychoactive effects. They contain ergot alkaloids varying considerably in concentration with LSA weight ranging between exactly similar looking seeds from 3 mcg to 34 mcg (avg 17 mcg). However, in its effects, LSA is about one tenth as potent as its cousin LSD, making a threshold dose level for LSA about 500 mcg. The psychoactive effects of the seeds may therefore be due to other alkaloids present in them and the safe and effective dose may be difficult to predict.
