Double Extracted White Willow Bark Herbal Tincture

 Size: 1oz brown bottle with dropper

We use the double-extraction method for all of our tinctures. This is the process of using both alcohol and water to extract different properties from the herbs. Some beneficial properties in herbs may be water-soluble while other are alcohol-soluble. We use this method with all of our tinctures to insure we are pulling everything from the herbs. It also makes for a better shelf life. 

Our white willow bark  tincture is handmade in small batches using organically grown white willow bark that is hand harvested and dried in early spring. We also use organic cane alcohol and local organic spring water.

Benefits:

 White willow bark’s  salicin constituent  a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic.. studies show several other components (including polyphenols and flavonoids), have antioxidant, fever reducing, antiseptic and immune boosting properties. This plant is as effective as aspirin for reducing pain and inflammation at much lower doses.

It has been shown to relieve headaches and is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects than synthesized pain relievers such as ibuprofen.

Arthritis

The active components in White Willow bark have been shown to inhibit cyclooxygenase – an enzyme responsible for inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins. Salicin will also ease the discomfort, further reducing the production of prostaglandins in the nerves and its anti-inflammatory properties help in reducing painful inflammation of the joints. It is thought that regular intake of White Willow bark will help to suppress the progression and onset of arthritis.

Heart Health

It is well known that low doses of aspirin are taken as a preventative as well as first aid for a heart attack as it helps to reduce the risk of internal clotting. Since the salicylates in aspirin are derived from Willow bark it stands to reason this herb has the same effect on the heart as aspirin. This means it can be effective in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Menstrual Cramps

Painful menstrual cramps are usually the result of inflammation of the uterine lining and the contractions which are triggered by prostaglandins. As we know Willow bark regulates the production of prostaglandins and reduces inflammation, it will help to soothe not only cramps but other PMS symptoms. The only side effect to using this remedy could be an increase in the flow of blood due to its blood thinning effects.

Skin Health

Powerfully antioxidant compounds found in White Willow bark have been found to have a very positive effect on the skin. It increases the blood flow to the skin, thus providing much needed nourishment, and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.
