White Willow Bark

1oz bag

White willow bark has been used for centuries as a natural remedy due to its analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. These effects stem from the natural compound salicin, which is converted to salicylic acid in the body (a precursor to aspirin). 

Primary Benefits

• Pain Relief: White willow bark is most well-known for its effectiveness in treating various types of pain. Studies suggest it is particularly helpful for chronic conditions such as low back pain and osteoarthritis. It may also provide relief for headaches, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps.
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: By interfering with inflammatory pathways in the body, it helps reduce swelling and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis.
• Fever Reduction: Historically and in traditional medicine, white willow bark has been used to reduce fevers associated with the common cold and flu.
• Skin Health: When used in topical products, white willow bark extract acts as a gentle exfoliant, helps manage oil production, refines the look of pores, and soothes redness and irritation in acne-prone or sensitive skin.
• Antioxidant Support: It contains flavonoids and polyphenols, which are antioxidants that help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals
