Cramp Bark
Also known as Viburnum Opulus Var. Americanum, Caprifoliaceae, Rubiaceae, High Cranberry. Antispasmodic, nervine, tonic, relaxant, diuretic, expectorant, astringent, sedative and emmenagogue.
Cramp bark is possibly the best female regulator-relaxant agent that we have for the uterus and ovaries, and is especially useful for painful and difficult menstruation and for nervous affections during pregnancy that threaten abortion.
A deciduous, thicket-forming shrub, 12 feet tall, with smooth gray branches. The winter buds are scaly. Leaves are maple-like, pubescent beneath with 3-5 acuminate lobes, coarsely,and irregularly toothed. It turns burgundy in the autumn. In early summer.the conspicuous, large, nearly flat-topped heads of snow-white flowers appear. The berries are bright red. Cultivated and wild throughout the U.S.
The fruit is used as a substitute for cranberries. It makes a tart jelly or distilled spirit. It is toxic and bitter if eaten fresh. The bark from the stem is a nerve-sedative, and uterine antispasmodic which reduces muscle cramps in intestinal spasms. Use 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of the bark decoction in tablespoon doses. Native Americans used it tomumps. Note: Viburnum prunifolium bark is used similarly.V.trilobum was used by the Alberta Cree tribe for many illnesses, especially for high fevers and pain relief.
