Anti-tussive, expectorant, astringent, nervine, anti-spasmodic.
Wild Cherry Bark is used mainly in the treatment of irritating
coughs, bronchitis and whooping cough. It is used with other
herbs in the control of asthma. Note that the inhibition of
a cough does not equate with the healing of a chest infection;
it should be treated. This herb may also be used as a bitter
where digestion is sluggish. The cold infusion of the bark
may be helpful as a wash in cases of inflammation of the eyes.
Traditional herbalists recommend this herb for rapid, weak
circulation; continual irritative cough, with profuse muco-purulent
expectoration; cardiac palpitation, from debility; dyspnoea;
pyrexia; loss of appetite; and cardiac pain.
Combinations : May be used widely with many different herbs.
