About this Botanical:

If bodily aches and pains have you weeping, Organic White Willow Bark (Latin: Cortex salix alba) may be the remedy you're crying for. Otherwise known as 'Nature's Aspirin', this bark has been used as a natural pain reliever by traditional health practitioners, for centuries.

Cut from the branches of young willow trees (usually in the 2 to 3-year old range), white willow bark gets its pain-relieving power from the presence of an active compound known as salicin. According to research, as this compound is absorbed into the bloodstream, it gets down to business by reducing inflammation that can cause pain in the body. For this reason, some research also appears to suggest that it may also combat joint pain caused by arthritis. (Great news for those in the 50+ age range.)

Naturally, the reason we're so enamored with this Organic White Willow Bark, is because one of the best ways to take advantage of its pain-relieving prowess, is by brewing it into a tea. What's more, as a tea it's incredibly easy to make. Simply steep the bark in freshly boiled water for two-to-three minutes and enjoy. Weep no more!
