Mother Earth Essentials Plant Data
Learn more
Willow bark is used to ease pain and reduce inflammation. Researchers believe that the chemical salicin, found in willow bark, is responsible for these effects. However, studies have identified several other components of willow bark that have antioxidant, fever-reducing, antiseptic, and immune-boosting properties. Some studies have shown willow is as effective as aspirin for reducing pain and inflammation and at a much lower dose. Researchers think that may be due to the other compounds in the herb. More research is needed.
Willow bark extract has several benefits in skin, such as acne treatment because of its antiseptic & anti-inflammatory properties. Because of its excellent astringent properties, Willow bark is often used to stimulate the skin & scalp to activate new cell growth by helping the old skin to slough off.
