I didn't know tender leaves of F. religiosa are consumed as leafy veg . 

On the other hand I do know leaf-buds of F. virens being used to make pickles and other things , in spring . 

Posted tree and branclet is definitely F. religiosa , it being leafy vegetable is difficult to digest . 

I shall enquire .

yes

its full of tannins

helps stop bleeding

so it would be logical in case of gut luminal, mucosal bleeding

but in menorrhagia etc...? doubtful

thanks Saro ji for digging out the ref
