Used historically to support healthy joints and muscles
It's a beautiful, graceful tree, but did you know the willow is also prized by herbalists? There are over 300 species of willow, found all over the globe. Certain species can grow up to 80 feet in height while others remain as shrubs. Both the bark and leaves have been used since 500 B.C. and throughout the ages it was used for a variety of health concerns including digestion, skin and passion. A member of the salicaceae family, which also includes the poplar, its botanical name is Salix alba and names include common willow and weeping willow.
In the early 19th century, European chemists discovered the white willow's active constituent, salicin. Since that time it has become popular as the natural way to keep the body comfortable, especially joints, muscles and the head. In fact, Commission E, the panel that evaluates herbal medicines for the German counterpart of the FDA, approves white willow bark for discomfort. It's been studied extensively for its effect on back concerns, heart health and women's issues.
