Crampbark

Viburnum opulus

Viburnum opulus, commonly known as Guelder rose or cranberry tree, is a deciduous shrub native to Europe and western Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented in any specific medical practices. Scientific evidence for Viburnum opulus shows mixed results. Studies have indicated that certain fractions of the juice can induce apoptosis and inhibit cancer growth in Ehrlich ascites tumor models. Additionally, enzymatic and ultrasound treatments have improved the antioxidant properties and quality of bread containing Viburnum opulus berry pomace. However, a study on net photosynthesis did not find significant changes with BiStep treatment compared to control. The phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of fruit vinegars from different sources were found to vary significantly. Safety concerns for Viburnum opulus are currently minimal; no major issues have been recorded. There is also no evidence suggesting any notable drug interactions, though further research may be needed to fully understand its potential effects.
