Viridian Organic White Willow 400mg 30 & 90VegCaps
£7.55 – £17.95
The active ingredient in white willow is salicin, which the body converts into salicylic acid. The first aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was made from a different salicin-containing herb, meadowsweet, working in essentially the same way.
Description
The bark of the stately white willow tree (Salix alba) has been used in China for centuries and early settlers to America found Native Americans gathering bark from indigenous willow trees for similar purposes.
Dosage Guide:
One to three capsules daily, or as recommended.
Avoid in cases of salicylate sensitivity. Not to be given to children under 16 with flu-like symptoms, with Reyes Syndrome. Avoid during pregnancy.
Interactions
People taking aspirin should consult their medical professional before taking White Willow products.
