In times of famine, including during the Khmer Rouge regime years, the people of Cambodia eat the young leaves and stem of this climber, called krâllam' paè or trâllam' paè in Khmer language. Various parts of the plant are also used in traditional medicine to treat a number of ailments, including menstruation problems.
