White Willow Bark – $5.21/oz

Description

White willow bark (Salix alba) is the bark of the European white willow, used in traditional practice for well over a thousand years and the plant from which salicin was first identified. It was traditionally used to support comfort in the back, joints, and head, and ease through occasional aches after exertion. The bark is bitter and astringent; simmer it 15 to 20 minutes as a decoction, and blend with ginger or cinnamon for warmth. Traditional uses reflect historical practice and are not proven clinical effects. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. If you are sensitive to aspirin or take blood-thinning medication, consult a healthcare professional before use.
