Cramp Bark Powder (Viburnum opulus) is a finely milled, softly bitter bark long valued in herbalism for calm-body routines and period comfort. Its traditional antispasmodic character makes it a natural fit in evening teas, compact tinctures and quick external compresses aimed at tight, crampy areas. The clean, earthy profile blends smoothly with chamomile, ginger, lemon balm or peppermint for a comforting cup. A tidy powder format also makes decoctions and DIY balms straightforward and consistent.
