Cramp bark, Viburnum opulus

By : Jill Davies - September 23, 2025 - Facebook, Jill Davies

Cramp bark, Viburnum opulus.

Also known as the wayfaring tree, you’ll spot it in many mixed wild hedgerows. Its stunning berries are a good feast for all birds at this time of year. For medicinal use, we collect the spring bark from an organically grown source. It is invaluable for a host of issues from blood pressure to digestion, joint pains, respiratory difficulties and sleep problems. Thank you, Crampbark!

Nettles Aplenty!
Growing in an ancient meadow, these nettles have ancient uses!

For good reason, Spring collected nettle leaves feature a lot in Herbs Hands Healing formulas—namely, our PolliTox Capsules (link: https://tinyurl.com/2nd6a936), Nettle Powder (link: https://tinyurl.com/msp64he7) and Nettle Herb Tea (link: https://tinyurl.com/4wfdrzmv). As a cleansing, detoxification herb, it makes a good daily friend, especially if you have allergies or excess histamine and inflammatory issues.

The Oak Tree
There the squirrel loves to frolic,
There the wild birds rest at night,
There the cattle come for shelter
In the noontime hot and bright.

Hydrangea arborescens is a specialist herb that practitioners use to help cystitis, enlarged prostate (holding water) and for kidney and bladder stones. We use the root.
It grows wild in the US in woodlands and riverbanks, whilst in the UK it`s a glorious garden plant.
