What is Black Haw?

Black Haw (viburnum prunifolium) is a living or short tree originating from the United States. It is often grown for its attractive properties. At the end of spring and at the end of summer, it produces small white flowers and has a crop of red berries that become almost black, which are visually attractive and also attract many bird species. Berries are really edible and in some regions people make them into jams. Other parts of black HAW were used in traditional medicine products. It can be planted in different areas of the US and the proposed zones are between four to eight. The tree would probably prosper elsewhere in the world where the temperature maximum and minimum are approximately similar to the American zones.

As a tree, black Haw can get about 30 feet (9.14 m), even if it can take some time. In the form of a shrub, viburnum can spread about six feet (1.83 m) and grow half as high as a tree height. This could again take a while and some careful pruning to fully fill the space. ANDThe one is already planted as a shrub or tree, it is necessary to pay some attention to sunlight, although there may be a permissible range of exhibitions of the Sun. Viburnum can usually tolerate until partial shadow, but will also prosper in full sun areas.

There is some logic for the traditional remedy for the use of black HAW. Normally bark is used and the tree was sometimes called a hamster bark. It has chemicals with a close relation to aspirin and one way it was used was to treat convulsions during the menstrual cycle or to calm the uterus at other times. Part of the disgusting past of Black Haw was its use on enslaved women to make sure they did not have abortions; Mornarozeni was born to the slave population and the wealth of the slave owner. In other cases, however, the mixtures made with the bark voluntarily were considered to be the treatment of various female diseases.

There is concerns about the safety of black HAW today because in it, such as a substance such as a substance, salicin, can cause damage to the body and may be indicatedA Christmas in congenital defects. Despite these concerns, as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, the product is still available in many natural food stores. The regulation of its sale is not in the FDA province unless there is legitimate evidence of its danger. However, pregnant women are properly warned that this product could be harmful if they were used during pregnancy, and they should not receive children because they could take the same risks as aspirin and may lead to Reye syndrome.
