Description
White willow (sometimes called salicin willow) has many health benefits associated with it that have kept it prized among the medicinal community for thousands of years. It is usually used as a pain reliever. In fact, usage of this white willow bark specifically for its healing properties can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates, a famous philosopher, advised his followers and others to chew the bark in order to alleviate their pains. Greece is not the only place that has made use of the bark of the white willow tree historically though. It has been recorded as being used in Asia and throughout Europe. Aspirin, the headache reliever, actually derives a similar chemical to that which is contained in white willow (the one associated with white willow is called salicin) in the formula they use to make their low grade pain reliever. But white willow extract is often thought to be a better alternative to aspirin because it does not have the negative side effects of thinning the stomach lining or the blood.
