White willow is the fore-runner to modern aspirin. It contains the analgesic ingredient salicin, an intermediate form of salicylic acid. The many other compounds found naturally in white willow decoction act as a natural buffer to prevent the harmful side effects that synthetic aspirin can cause. It is one of nature’s strongest pain and inflammation relievers. It can be taken every 15 minutes until pain subsides without side effects.
Usage: White willow is good for relieving pain in joints, muscles, bone, injuries, headache, menstrual cramps, and other acute pain conditions. Take 10 drops to 1 dropper full every 15 minutes until pain subsides.
White willow thins the blood and reduces inflammation in joints, muscles, injuries, and throughout the body. For these purposes, take 1 dropper full three times daily.
