Description
Wild Cherry Bark C/S.
Just as the name implies, this cut and sifted bark comes from the Prunus serotina or wild cherry tree. It makes a wonderful natural soap colorant, which will color to a warm reddish-brown, plus it will add antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungicidal properties as well. Try steeping this herb in either the oil or water phase of your recipe, strain, and use the “tea” juice within the recipe. By doing so, you will enhance your recipe’s healing benefits as well as provide a natural colorant. Herbalists use a water compress of wild cherry bark on the soft tissue under the eyes, as it helps promote shrinking of that delicate skin area for puffy eye syndrome.
Internally it has been used to treat the common cough, hence why throat lozenges often have “wild cherry” on their labels. Even if the blend doesn’t actually contain this herb, it’s a throwback from old time formulations that contained this herb … and worked well.
Wild Cherry Bark C/S is food grade – however, this herb shouldn’t be taken for long periods of time.
INCI: Prunus serotina (wild cherry) bark
