January 2, 2019

White willow bark is the ancestor of acetylsalicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in aspirin. It's synthesized from the salicin found in white willow bark, which is a compound shown to have anti-inflammatory and pain killing effects. White willow bark has been traditionally used to help reduce pain, fever, and inflammation, and current research suggests it's as effective as some anti-inflammatory drugs in treating pain. White willow bark is a source of cancer-fighting antioxidants and is a natural antidiarrheal. The safety of this medicinal herb suggests it's a natural remedy that can potentially replace aspirin use.
