It was used to make ammonia at one point, wasn't it? I'm not sure of ammonia's medicinal uses though.

- rsynnott 6y agoIt's a food preservative, though not a particularly commonly used one these days. It's used in so-called pink slime, for instance (which is why that's illegal in the EU).

On a more accessible level, low amounts of ammonia is useful for topical treatments of itch, like from bug bites.
