Function: White willow bark was first discovered many many years ago. The use of white willow bark dates back to the time of Hippocrates (400 BC) when patients were advised to chew the bark to reduce fever and inflammation. White willow bark contains salicin, which is an ingredient very similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). The use of white willow bark is continued today to treat pain (particularly low back pain and osteoarthritis). Salicin is the component taking all the credit for pain relief and reducing inflammation. However, other studies have identified several other components of willow bark that have antioxidant, fever reducing, antiseptic, and immune boosting properties.
Studies have shown that while white willow bark posses the same ability to relieve pain and reduce inflammation, it seems to take longer to produce results when ingested. However, although taking longer to set in, it yields longer-lasting results than aspirin or other man-made products. For this reason, white willow bark is gaining popularity in the weight-loss and diet world.
