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.
