Description
Wild Cherry, also known as Virginia Prune, Black Cherry, Choke Cherry, and Rum Cherry, is a large tree that grows mostly in the northern United States and Canada. It produces small white flowers, and purplish to black fruits, which ripen in early Fall. The bark of older Wild Cherry trees is nearly black, and separates naturally. The bark of young trees is reddish-brown and has an almond-like scent. It is this outer bark of the young Wild Cherry tree that is used medicinally.
Native Americans were the first to discover its healthful qualities, using Wild Cherry Bark to treat diarrhea and pulmonary complaints. Some used Wild Cherry Bark in tea form to ease labor pains. Later, European settlers used Wild Cherry Bark in cough syrups and as a poultice for abscesses and ulcers. Wild Cherry Bark is still used as a cough suppressant, especially in cases of bronchitis, whooping cough, and asthma. It contains prussic acid, which is known to calm the nerves associated with the coughing reflex. Wild cherry bark contains cyanogenic glycosides, particularly prunasin. These glycosides, once broken apart in the body, act to relieve choughs by quelling spasms in the smooth muscles lining bronchioles.
Wild Cherry Bark has been used in several cough suppressant formulas, often combined with Coltsfoot and Horehound to combat whooping cough, and with Meadowsweet and Marshmallow Root to fight dyspepsia. It is also used to sooth the after effects of allergy attacks. Wild Cherry Bark has also been used, in combination with Sarsaparilla, as a blood purifier.

loose cherry bark
The quality of the tea was very good. It wasn't as easy to find this type of herb to make tea out of as I thought it would be. So I am glad to have found Zoo Scape selling loose herbs.

Also Recommended: I would like to tell zooscape, that I personally desire that anything I would buy from them to be packaged from recycable materials. In other words, as close to the condition of me buying it in the bins section of a health food store. I don't require any advertising on your product. I know who I'm getting it from and what it is. I desire the most frugal and environmental packaging as possible. Thank You. Love & Light- Eli
[Editor: Eli, we sincerely share your concern for the environment. USA law does require that we label all of our products fully, including Supplement Facts / Nutritional Facts informaton, ingredients, directions for use, and a full disclosure of the manufacturer's identity. The intent of the law is to protect consumers and ensure their use of the product is done safely and according to the manufacturer's guidelines. So, you're right, labelling does waste resources, but it is for safety reasons. It is a balancing act between being safe and being kind to our environment. For some reason, bulk bin products are allowed to circumvent this law. Nevertheless, we really do recycle EVERYTHING possible in our warehouse and in our production facilities, and we try to be as frugal as possible with all resources.]
terra vita wild cherry bark tea
I have been on Advaid (med. strength) for 2 years and it was reccomended that I try this product along with local honey. I used it twice a day and after about 4 days I skipped a dose of the inhaler. after 2 weeks, I no longer needed the inhaler, stopped using the rescue inhaler also. My breathing is about 85% better.
