Viburnum leaves
The leaves of viburnum are three-and five-lobed, toothed (on barren shoots, five – lobed leaves predominate, and with fruits-three-lobed). They are dark green above, without a fluffy cover, and below-bluish-green, slightly pubescent. For medicinal purposes, they are harvested at the time of flowering of the plant. After harvesting, they are dried in the fresh air, under a canopy, in the shade or just in a well-ventilated room.
