VIBURNUM

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 17 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VIBURNUM , in
medicine
 , the dried bark of the
black
  haw or Viburnum prunifolium, grown in
India
  and
North
  America. The
black
  haw contains viburnin and valerianic, tannic, gallic, citric and malic acids. The British Pharmacopoeial preparation is the Extractum Viburni Prunifolii liquidum; the United States preparation is the fluid extract prepared from the Viburnum opulus. The physiological action of viburnum is to
lower
  the blood pressure. In overdose it depresses the motor functions of the spinal cord and so produces loss of reflex and
paralysis
 . Therapeutically the
drug
  is used as an
anti
 -spasmodic in dysmenorrhoea and in menorrhagia.
