Cherry stems have long been recognised as having diuretic properties and they are found in prescriptions dating back to the Middle Ages. They contain malic and tartaric acids. Cherry bark infusions were used to treat colds and flu, while the fruit and juice were considered to be an effective remedy for gout, aches and arthritis. Modern research has shown that cherries actually do contain natural anti-inflammatory agents.
