Chokecherry Tea
Canpa Wahpe
Prunus Virginiana.
Our own local artist, author, comedienne, Geri Goes In Center is now launching a line of natural Lakota food products.
Chokecherries contain high levels of vitamins, antioxidants and polyphenols that reduce the potential for cancer and heart disease.
The amygdaline content in the crushed seeds stimulate respiration, improve digestion, help reduce blood pressure and arthritic pain and give a sense of well-being. When our ancestors used the berries they crushed the seeds for coughs and colds.
Our Lakota ancestors drank chokecherry juice to gain strength after sickness. This tea is blended with leaves and bark of the chokecherry tree.
