Alternatively, a teaspoon or two in a cup of water can have boiling water poured over it to make the tea. USE MODERATELY (no more than two cups per day). Wild Cherry bark contains natural cyanide, so care must be taken--best not to use in too large amounts or too frequently. A tincture of the inner bark has been effective as a remedy for jaundice.
Great video! I picked up your book a little while ago after finding a copy in a guest house I was staying in with my family. I've been really enjoying it. Great to find you have videos, too. :)
