Viburnum opulus
European and North American shrub with powerful antispasmodic bark used for menstrual cramps, muscle spasms, and hypertension.
Viburnum opulus (cramp bark) is a European and North American shrub whose bark is valued for its potent antispasmodic properties, primarily used to alleviate menstrual cramps, muscle spasms, and hypertension. Its key active compounds include viopudial, scopoletin, salicin, and tannins, which contribute to its smooth muscle relaxant and mild analgesic effects.
The antispasmodic action of Viburnum opulus is attributed to viopudial, which inhibits calcium influx into smooth muscle cells, reducing uterine and vascular contractions. Scopoletin acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, increasing cAMP levels and promoting relaxation, while salicin is metabolized to salicylic acid, providing anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic effects via COX inhibition. Tannins contribute astringent properties, potentially reducing mucosal irritation. The hypotensive effect may involve direct vasodilation and mild diuretic activity.
