The roots of Siberian bloatcarp contain the following coumarins: visnadin and dihydrosamitin, as well as scopoletin, umbelliferone, iterexin, samedin, kellacton diisovalerate, acomalin, deltoin, suxdorfin, and also dihydrosamitin and isoimperatorin.
It is noteworthy that sucrose, essential oil, alpha-pinene, limonene, myrcene, beta-pinene, gamma-terpinene, beta-phellandrene, flavonoids and coumarins such as buchtarmine, xanthogalin and lamatin were found in the aerial part of the Siberian puffball.

Such drugs will have an antispasmodic effect in case of peripheral vascular spasms, Raynaud’s disease, mild forms of chronic coronary insufficiency, as well as spastic forms of endarteritis.
In Tibetan medicine, the roots and rhizomes of Siberian carp are often used as components of rather complex medicinal mixtures. Such mixtures turn out to be especially valuable for gastroenteritis, pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis, various neuroses, a number of blood diseases and diphtheria. In addition, such mixtures also act as anthelmintics. It is noteworthy that parts of this plant have been shown to have bacteriostatic activity against the tuberculosis bacillus. Coumarins, which are part of this plant, also have antispasmodic properties.
For pulmonary tuberculosis, neurosis and pneumonia, it is recommended to prepare the following remedy: for this you will need to take approximately eight to ten grams of crushed dry roots per glass of water. It is recommended to boil this mixture for approximately five to six minutes over fairly low heat, and then leave the resulting mixture to infuse for two hours. Then add boiled water up to the original amount and filter this mixture. It is recommended to take this remedy three times a day, two tablespoons.
