Is White Willow Bark bad for you??!
Question: Is White Willow Bark bad for you.?.?
I just took two capsules of White Willow Bark to relieve some muscle pain and I'm starting to think it was a bad decision because I looked it up and found out that it's pretty much the same thing as aspirin.. I thought it would be better since it's 'natural' and I really don't like taking medicine even ibuprofen.. Is it bad for you.? should I steer clear next time.? Thanks in advance!Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't worry to much about it.. White willow bark is a good aspirin substitute, which more or less means it will work kind of like aspirin but it natural and less harmful, unlike aspirin which can cause stomach irritation.. White willow contains tannis, which are actually good for the digestive system.. Other benefits are reduces inflammation and fever, relieves pain, good for neuralgia, and relieves swollen joints due to rheumatism and arthritis..
The thing to worry about when you take herbal remedies would be to make sure they wouldn't interact with other medication you are on and by the sound of things you probably aren't on anything else..
Hope this helps you to feel better..Health Question & Answer

White Willow Bark is the ORIGINAL aspirin - the current aspirin was created in the labratory to immitate the Willow Bark.. One or two is fine for pain.. The nice thing about Willow Bark is that you can take it four times a day to start with, then phase it down to only two a day for the same effect..There are no side effects when taken in this fashion- that is, no bleeding ulcers or other circulatory problems.. But like all medications, taking it for the time period needed is fine, but you would want to live on it! Health Question & Answer
Willow Bark has been used for thousands of years.. Aspirin is just a synthetic version of it that is concentrated.. Many current "medications" were once "natural," such as digitalis (foxglove), etc.. Yes, use it as it is NOT a concentrated version and the other ingredients help it work (what is in the willow bark naturally).. Health Question & Answer
