Additional information from Anne an amateur nutritionist.

 

Aspirn was discovered by the American and Canadian Indians in the

1800's and before.

 

Aspirin is derived exclusively form the Bark of The White-Willow

Tree; indigenous to North-America; includ. Canada.

 

White-Willow Bark can be prepared in a variety of ways; Teas and

Salves; just to mention a few.

 

The Bayer Asprin Co. bought the White-Willow Bark Trademark from the

American and Canadian Indians and " synthesized the Bark into pills " .

 

Another good Bark is Sassafras-Tree-Bark for Tea. White-willow Bark

or " Aspirin " is the true miracle-drug of Today.

 

Aspirin prevents/treats more diseases than any other known drug;

besides Penicillin.

 

Though Penicilin et al. have side-effects; they do cure diseases. usa

************

Aspirin used to be derived from willow.....but, the pharmaceutical

companies found that it was not " profitable " enough to continue to

use willow for making the drug.

 

So, years ago (IIRC, it was shortly after WW II) they started to

produce aspirin synthetically from petroleum, which is how " aspirin "

is still made today.

 

I've read that over 90% of today's allopathic " medicines " are now

derived from petrochemicals and/or coal tars... even many of those

that had their origins in plants.

White Willow Bark

 

http://www.regaininghealthnaturally.com/Herb_Information/White_Willow_Bark.shtml

White Willow has been used for centuries to reduce fevers

and reduce pain. It is closely related to the common aspirin. It is great for

fever, chills, and rheumatism or arthritis.

 

It can be used both externally and internally.

 

In addition, White Willow bark can be used for stomach

troubles, sour stomach, heartburn, and to help prevent vomiting. It will

increase the flow of urine, can be made into a tea to be used as an eye wash,

to stop bleeding wounds, nosebleeds, and the spitting up of blood.

 

To prepare a decoction, soak 1-3 tsp. of bark in a cup of

water for 3-4 hours and then bring it to a boil. Drink this tea only a mouthful

at a time, unsweetened. Drink only about 1 cup total per day.
