PRUNUS VIRGINIANALiquid

Prunus virginiana, prepared from the inner bark of the Chokecherry tree belonging from Rosaceae family, is particularly valued for its influence on the heart and digestive system. It is especially beneficial in managing irregular or weak heart action, acidity-related dyspepsia, and chronic coughs associated with heart or respiratory strain. Often used in the form of Prunin (a concentrated extract), this medicine is well-suited for persistent coughs, loss of appetite, and pyrosis, especially in delicate or elderly individuals with sluggish digestion.
