Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus)(High Bush Cranberry, Cramp Bark)Perennial deciduous bush native to cool bogs of North America, Europe and Asia. Used extensively in landscaping, cramp bark sports multiple upright branches bearing cream colored, platelike flowers and attractively shaped leaves that turn gloriously red in the fall. The bush prospers in full sun or part shade and prefers moist, nutrient rich soils. Allow plenty of space (at least 6 feet between individuals) as cramp bark can easily be as wide as it is tall. The tea or tincture is made of the spring-harvested root bark, which is removed in the spring when it slips easily. This is a superior antispasmodic for smooth muscles with a special affinity for the uterus, widely used to allay uterine cramps.from horizonherbs.com
