Antispasmodic

Antispasmodic agents work by relaxing muscle fibers, calming the nervous system, or reducing inflammation that contributes to spasmodic activity. These remedies are often used for digestive issues, menstrual cramps, or muscle tension. Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is a well-known antispasmodic herb that soothes the digestive tract and alleviates cramps. Cramp bark (Viburnum opulus) is traditionally used for its ability to ease uterine spasms and muscle cramps. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) provides gentle relief for spasms in the digestive system and muscles, while also calming the nerves. These herbs support a natural approach to addressing spasms and restoring muscular and nervous system balance.
