White Willow Bark

[Guest guest]

This comes in capsules , in extract with alcohol, and lose for a

tea. And it works! If you wish to use the capsules, make sure it has no

fillers

nor additional ingredients. An alternative health professional told me that

if it is pure, you can take up to twice the amount suggested on the

directions without side effects. It is also stronger.

I have been taking this recently for pain and it does work. But I

had to take at least twice as much as the directions indicated for effective

relief - but it depends on how acute the pain is as well as what is causing the

pain, just as it does with drugs.

To prepare a decoction, soak 1-3 tsp. of bark in a cup of water for 3-4 hours
