White Willow

Willow was one of the first herbs to be scientifically investigated. In the 19th century the french chemist leroux extracted the active ingredient "salicine". By 1852 it was being synthetically produced and by 1899 a less irritant and unpleasant-tasting variant of the substance (acetyl salicylic acid) was manufactured and marketed as aspirin.
The willow is traditionally used for treating feverish diseases, chills, agues, pain, inflammations, neuralgia, headache, gout and rheumatic ailments, and arthritic joints.
