Description

White Willow Bark has been employed for thousands of years as a reliable natural painkiller. It is used to relieve the pain of headaches, migraines, backache, nerve pain, menstrual cramps, toothache and the pain of minor injuries. The analgesic actions of White Willow Bark may be slower-acting than synthetic aspirin, but the results last longer, as the painkilling compounds remain at stable levels in the bloodstream longer (usually for several hours) than synthetic aspirin products. Unlike aspirin products, White Willow Bark has no affect on blood platelets and does not increase bleeding, nor will it irritate the lining of the stomach, common side effects of aspirin.
