The Highbush Cranberry - A Multipurpose Shrub
http://www.ag.usask.ca/cofa/departments/hort/hortinfo/fruit/cranbery.html
Medicinally, preparations of the fruit have been used as an astringent to 
treat swollen glands. The bark yields a preparation (containing a bitter 
compound called viburnine) that has been used as an apparently effective 
antispasmodic for relief of menstrual and stomach cramps, and asthma. The 
antispasmodic properties were independently known to European, Native 
American, and Asian peoples.

<< i'm in one of the tiny pockets of zone 2 that 
 northern minnesota is blessed with.   im now 3 years into a lifelong 
 quest to grow any kind of fruit that can make it here, well or at all.  
 highbush cranbery is native, happy , and relatively rare here.   an old 
 timer told me that was diferent before the depression in the 30's.   he 
 and every other kid went out gathering it, selling the bark for a 
 handsome  price as a medicinal-- so much so that it was well nearly 
 wiped out.   are any of you nafexers growing these, a few or 
 commercially?  does any one know of a market these days for the bark?  >>
