Laurustinus (Viburnum tinus) is an evergreen shrub whose leaves and bark have been employed in traditional herbal medicine. It is primarily used as a diuretic and to relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate and lower urinary‑tract irritation, and it also has mild anti‑inflammatory effects. The herb may provoke skin or respiratory allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, has not been well studied in pregnancy, and can interact with other diuretics or medications affecting kidney function, so it should be used with caution.
