Cramp Bark Tincture 2oz
Historically used: useful to ease uterine cramps. But as a muscle relaxant, it also affects other organs, including the intestines and the skeletal muscles. Cramp bark is considered the most potent uterine antispasmodic of the various Viburnum species because it contains more of the antispasmodic constituent scopoletin. Cramp bark also contains more antispasmodic volatile oils than other species. Cramp bark usually works rapidly for simple menstrual cramps, uterine cramps, congestion, and irritation in the uterus and ovaries with radiating pains, and may be better indicated for those types of complaints. The antispasmodic constituents in cramp bark also may lower blood pressure by relaxing vessel walls. Cramp bark may reduce leg cramps, muscle spasms, or pain from a stiff neck. Use as a pain reliever.
