Today, aspirin is a common remedy. Less than one hundred years ago, however, it was considered a wonder-drug, the newest thing to hit the stores. Many similar compounds had been produced before and many different means of producing aspirin have been devised since, but nothing has rivaled the success of this one synthetic compound -acetylsalicylic acid and methylsalycilic acid!

On March 6, 1899, the Bayer Company registered the product under the trade name Aspirin as it went on sale in Germany. In a few short years, the name aspirin would become synonymous with the tablets and powered forms of acetylsalicylic acid that people around the world used to cure numerous ailments. By the 1920’s, aspirin was accepted world-wide as a safe and effective pain-reliever and wonder-drug.

The benefits of White Willow Bark today are that it is an anti-inflammatory, a fever reducer, an analgesic, an anti-rheumatic, and an astringent. Specifically, it helps to relieve headaches; helps to ease pain associated with inflammatory conditions like rheumatism, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome; and helps to control fevers. Relieve acute and chronic pain, including headache, back and neck pain, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps. The effectiveness of white willow bark for easing these and other types of discomforts results from its power to lower prostaglandin levels. Control arthritis discomforts. Some arthritis sufferers taking white willow bark have experienced reduced swelling and inflammation, and eventually increased mobility, in the back, knees, hips, and other joints.
