What is White Willow Bark? Many people have heard about this unique bark and are curious of its benefits in potentially helping them!
White Willow Bark contains a compound called salicin, which is transformed in the body to essentially be a natural aspirin.
Aspirin itself is used commonly for headache and pain relief; hence many people in favor of natural medicines have found benefit with using White Willow Bark.
White Willow Bark however is NOT for everyone. People with sensitivity to aspirin, women who are pregnant or nursing, children, people taking blood-thinning medications, anti-coagulants, people with a history of a bleeding disorder, or those with a history of ulcers should not use White Willow Bark.
As a general precaution, people should always consult an appropriate healthcare provider before using a natural medicine, especially if they use other medications, or suffer from other illnesses.
Many people have found White Willow Bark to be right for them, and at Enlightened Mind, we care that our customers are informed about all aspects of the natural, complimentary, and alternative medicines they seek.
