Cramp Bark is the bark of a shrub in the honeysuckle family that grows throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. It is tradition to harvest the bark of this plant prior the changing of it’s leaves in the fall season. The medicinal properties of this bark have been known around the world for thousands of years. As its name would suggest, its primary use is for relaxing cramping muscles. For that reason, Cramp Bark has found itself useful for hundreds of years in the treatment of woman’s menstrual cramps and post birth muscle spasms in the uterus. It has even been used to prevent miscarriage by relaxing the muscles of the uterus during preterm childbirth. In woman’s health this bark is especially useful as it can not only relax muscles, but improve blood flow, even helping the body flush out toxins from the uterus when used during menstruation. Cramp Bark is a much healthier choice in the treatment of painful menstruation cycles over pharmaceutical medicines that can be quite harsh on the liver. In fact Cramp Bark also acts as a mild diuretic, helping the kidney and gallbladder to flush out calcium build up! While Cramp Bark is a must have for woman’s health, its antispasmodic(muscle relaxing) qualities make it useful for everyone!
