Description

White Willow Bark Cut is a dried cut bark traditionally used as a natural source of salicin and often compared with the botanical origins of aspirin-type compounds. It is commonly prepared as a decoction and traditionally used to help ease headaches, backache, nerve pain, joint discomfort, menstrual cramps and rheumatism or gout-related discomfort.

Because it contains salicylate-type compounds, it should be avoided by people allergic to aspirin or sensitive to salicylates. The cut bark format is easy to simmer and strain for home preparations. Why we love it: White willow bark is a classic traditional pain-comfort herb. The cut format is practical for slow-simmered decoctions and easier to strain than powder.
