Cramp Bark Drops

Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) drops are a concentrated herbal extract derived from the bark of the cramp bark tree, traditionally used in herbal medicine for its antispasmodic, muscle-relaxing, and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary active constituents in cramp bark include scopoletin, salicin, and various tannins and flavonoids, which contribute to its therapeutic effects on smooth muscle tissue, the nervous system, and circulation. Cramp bark drops have a long history of use in Western and Indigenous herbal traditions for managing muscular cramps, menstrual discomfort, and nervous tension, and they are often formulated as a glycerite or tincture for easy oral dosing.One of the most widely recognized benefits of cramp bark drops is their ability to relieve muscular spasms and cramps. This includes cramps in skeletal muscles as well as smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts. The antispasmodic action helps relax muscle tissue, which can reduce the intensity and frequency of cramps associated with exercise, muscle overuse, or electrolyte imbalance. For many people, using cramp bark drops before or after strenuous activity can support muscle comfort and help prevent sudden cramping episodes. In the digestive system, the same antispasmodic effect may ease symptoms of gas, bloating, and discomfort caused by intestinal spasms or dysregulated motility, making cramp bark a supportive option for functional gastrointestinal tension.
