Wild cherry bark powder

Wild cherry is a tree. The bark and fruit are used to make medicine. Some people take wild cherry by mouth for colds, whooping cough, bronchitis (lunginflammation), and other lung problems. It is also used for diarrhea, gout, digestive disorders, pain, and cancer. It is also used in cough syrups because of its sedative (sleepiness), expectorant (clearing mucus), drying, and cough-suppressing effects.
