In the past, Native Americans brewed a kind of tea out of Cherry Bark as a cure for different ailments. For instance, the Mohegans used it as a treatment for Dysentry while the Cherokees and the Meskwakis took it for sedation and as pain reliever.
But Cherry Black Tea which is today commercially sold as a drug in form of syrups or cough drops for treating whooping cough, dry cough; or simply to relieve pains associated with labor, as the Indians of old did, is also a beverage used to brew highly flavored and refreshing tea. It is an indigenous North American tree that can grow up to 80 ft. in height. Its leaves are oval, sharp tipped and have a dark green hue. During Spring it produces white flowers which eventually turn and mature into Violet-red fruits in late Summer.
However, the important thing from the tree is the bark, because besides providing the ingredient for making Cherry Black Tea, it also has medicinal ingredients with active constituents such as Scopoletin, Kaempferol, Acetylcholine, Coumaric acid, Quercetin, HCN, and Tannis
Apart from being able to reduce pain and treat coughs, Cherry Black Tea has numerous other benefits like: improving immunity, being an antivirus and a body detoxifier, lowering blood pressure, and preventing indigestion and gastritis. When cold, it can be applied as an eye cleaner to relieve eye inflammation.
As a beverage, it is quite easy to prepare. In a cup of boiled water add a teaspoon of Cherry Bark in powder form, mix well and then flavor with either lemon or honey. Drink a cup three times every day. It should be stored in a tightly closed container in a dark place.
For pregnant women or those nursing children below two years, Cherry Black Tea should be out of bounds due to the presence, in it, of Hydrocyanic acid, which is harmful in large amounts and long usage. This precaution must also be taken by people under other forms of medication, unless under the direction of a physician.
