Medicinal Uses: Wild cherry bark is used for colds, whooping cough, bronchitis and other lung problems; diarrhea; gout; digestive disorders; pain; and cancer. It is also used in cough syrups because of its sedative, expectorant, drying, and cough-suppressing effects. The bark contains chemicals that might help reduce swelling (inflammation) and have a drying (astringent) effect on the tissues.

The inner bark also contains this compound and special sugar molecules which cause a chemical reaction in the body. This mixture quickly enter the lungs and has two important jobs to do. First, they increase respiration. Secondly, it quiets the cough reflex with a mild sedative. The tannins loosen mucus to dry the sinuses and decrease phlegm. These actions have made wild cherry bark a time-honored cough syrup. In foods and beverages, wild cherry is used as a flavoring agent.

Magical uses: Wild cherry bark uses include lust, direction, frugality, favors, invisibility, and magical potency. Burn as an incense while performing divination to enhance the results, or while performing love spells to find a partner. Use to revitalize the magical energy needed to finish an old project.
