Viburnum opulus - Cramp bark

Cramp bark is a soft tissue muscle relaxant. Think of it for those overworked and tired muscles. I find it especially helpful for tired arched shoulders. 

Cramp Bark can be used for all soft muscle tissue. Remember that the intestines and the uterus are also soft muscle tissue. It can be useful for all cramping, from deep leg cramps to small tics and tremors.

If being used for sore muscles or a sudden leg cramp, consider a convenient liniment spray, or a splash of tincture rubbed into the area to be most effective. 

Late winter-early spring (before the first thunderstorm) branches may be trimmed and debarked for preparations.
