Astringent, tonic, and diuretic, pipsissewa is mainly used in an infusion for urinary tract problems such as cystitis and urethritis.

By increasing urine flow, pipsissewa stimulates the removal of waste products from the body, and is therefore of benefit in treating rheumatism and gout. The fresh leaves may be applied externally to rheumatic joints or muscles, as well as to blisters, sores, and swellings.
