The inner bark of the Wild Cherry Tree, with all its wild vigor, has and does enjoy wide use, by many North American Native Peoples, for coughs, colds, whooping cough, bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, daily recurring fevers and to lower high blood pressure. Old-time cough drops actually used to contain some Wild Cherry Bark and worked really well until they were gradually cheapened to taste good and became little more than a confection. Jethro Kloss, the beloved American herbal practitioner of the first half of the 20th century, used Wild Cherry Bark for all these purposes with great success. He stated outright, that it cures the chronic respiratory condition of asthma while loosening and expelling old diseased mucus from the lungs and respiratory passages. Wild Cherry Bark's sedative properties calm and soothe lungs, stomach and intestines. Research shows the inner bark of the Wild Cherry tree contains a vegetable compound known as hydrocyanic acid. Nature often finds use for minute traces of a compound known as cyanide, which, in its isolated chemical form, is highly poisonous. In the case of B-12, a vitamin essential for life, this principle of cyanide construction is found. This principle is found again in the case of the apricot kernel, which also contains a minute amount of vegetable cyanide, in this case, to kill cancer cells. The presence of hydrocyanic acid in Wild Cherry Bark, as an antibiotic, may well account for its success in such infectious diseases as whooping cough and tuberculosis. Wild Cherry Bark's bitter and astringent properties find great usefulness in the case of a relaxed stomach and intestines to make them active again. If desired, it can be taken a few drops at a time and allowed to trickle down the throat for maximum effect. Wild Cherry Bark extract can also be rubbed into the throat, chest and back areas. A towel is placed between the chest and the clothing and the back and clothing. Then cover the person with warm bedding. Use only natural fiber clothing and bedding. Heat and moisture are built up and assist Wild Cherry Bark in breaking up hardened mucus congestion. The towel and warm clothing also absorb the poisons which are sweated out. For stomach and intestinal use 3 to 4 times per day.
