WHITE WILLOW BARK
WHITE WILLOW BARK Salix alba
Almost two thousand years ago, the Greek physician Dioscorides used willow bark to sooth the pain of inflamed joints. Willow bark is the grandmother of aspirin and many other medications for arthritis and rheumatism.
CAUTION: Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing, allergic to salicylate compounds such as aspirin, or have gastritis, or ulcers. Discontinue use if you experience stomach discomfort.
