White Willow Bark Extract Powder

Description

White willow bark extract contains salicin and anti-inflammatory properties, which have been traditionally used by practitioners. The history of usage of White Willow Bark goes back as far as 500 BC when ancient Chinese healers used the extract for its healing properties. Interestingly, it took 2,000 years for the use of White willow bark to catch on in the West!

Willow Bark Extract Powder (or nature’s aspirin) is derived from various willow bark trees, including white, black, and purple. The ingredient is a natural salicin source, which is where the powerful acne-fighting ingredient that you’re likely more familiar with, saocylic acid, comes from. Petrillo explains that, because of the salicin, willow bark extract has potent antibacterial and anti-inflamma.

White Willow Bark Extract Powder (Edible Grade)
Botanical Name: Salix alba

Product Description:

White willow bark extract powder is a fine, brownish herbal powder derived from the bark of the Salix alba tree. Traditionally used for its natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, it contains salicin, a compound the body converts to salicylic acid — the natural form of aspirin.
