Encapsulated White Willow bark, carefully peeled in small sections from wild trees, the tree is not harmed in the process.
Willow was one of the first herbs to be scientifically investigated. In the 19th century, the French chemist, Leroux, extracted the active ingredient salicine. By 1852 it was being synthetically produced, and by 1899 a less irritating acetyl salicylic acid was manufactured and marketed as aspirin.
This was the first plant-derived drug of the modern generation.
The white willow bark was used to reduce fevers, relieve headache.
Unlike the synthetic drug, acetyl salicylic acid, called aspirin which can cause stomach irritation, white willow bark contains tannins, which are actually good for the digestion.
Native Americans used it for diarrhea, to staunch bleeding, and for dandruff.
Willow Bark is also taken for worms, gonorrhea, dyspepsia, dysentery, chronic diarrhea and edema, and it may also be taken as a bitter tonic in small doses before meals.
