Liver-altering drugs (cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates) interact with choke cherry

Some medications can be broken down by changes in the liver. Wild cherry may reduce how quickly the liver breaks down certain medications. Taking wild cherry with some medications that are broken down by the liver may increase the effects and side effects of some medications. Before taking wild cherry, talk to your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications that can be altered by the liver.

Some drugs that are altered by the liver include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and others.

Wild Cherry Benefits

Cough medicine/respiratory health

Wild cherry bark has powerful antitussive (cough-suppressing) properties and is therefore useful for dry coughs that are accompanied by cramps. Due to its astringent, sedative, antispasmodic and bronchodilatory effects, it dries mucus, increases expectoration, relieves coughs and opens the airways. Wild cherry bark contains cyanogenic glycosides, which are hydrolyzed in the body into glucose, benzaldehyde, and hydrocyanic acid, also known as prussic acid. The hydrocyanic acid is rapidly excreted through the lungs, first increasing breathing and then calming the sensory nerves responsible for the cough reflex.

Wild cherry bark tincture or syrup has a mild sedative effect and is especially helpful in treating a cough that makes it difficult to sleep. It can also be used to relieve an unproductive, irritating cough that persists after the initial infection has cleared.

digestive health

Wild cherry bark is classified as a bitter herb—bitters support digestive function by stimulating bitter taste receptors on the tongue, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas. Their main function is to promote digestive juices such as stomach acid, bile and enzymes to break down food and assist in the absorption of nutrients.

Additionally, chokecherry bark strengthens and regulates the entire digestive system, and its relaxing properties make it particularly useful in cases of neuropathic dyspepsia (dyspepsia).

heart health

Wild cherry bark has long been considered a remedy for weak hearts, especially those associated with chronic coughs, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure.

Wild cherry bark acts on the cardiovascular system, balancing circulation and reducing irritation and congestion that can hinder the heart. The combination of sweet and bitter flavors indicates that this remedy is particularly nutritious, as both flavors stimulate secretions in the mouth, stomach and digestive system. Bitterness is also associated with the heart and circulation, as it can reduce irritation and fever. The nourishing effect of sweetness can be said to be directed at the heart. Coupled with the astringent taste, it can also harmonize the heart. Not only do cherries reduce irritation, they also nourish, strengthen and strengthen the heart muscle. Wild cherry is the American Indian version of hawthorn (hawthorn), also a member of the rose family, used to treat heart and digestive problems.

skin health

The components in chokecherry bark help reduce inflammation and act as a tissue astringent. When used topically, it can be used as an eyewash to treat inflamed, puffy eyes, and it can be added to natural skin creams to help relieve problems such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rashes.

Folklore and History

Some tribes used the inner bark and berries to treat diarrhea or worms, including the Menominee, Chippewa, and Cherokee. A poultice of chokecherry bark or root has been shown to be useful in treating a variety of wounds or skin problems. The Chippewa people applied ointments made from the inner bark of the tree to cuts, wounds, sores and burns

From 1820 to 1970, wild cherry bark was listed as an antitussive and sedative in the United States Pharmacopeia.

Wild cherry bark was one of the most prized herbs used by Native American tribes. It is used as a powerful cough suppressant, especially for whooping cough, as a general gastrointestinal tonic, to treat diarrhea, as a cold laxative, and used topically to speed wound healing and stop bleeding. The Cherokee people used the bark to relieve pain during childbirth, while the Mohicans regarded it as a remedy for a variety of ailments, including dysentery.
