A member asked:
How will white willow help a chronic backache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Her the story: The bark of white willow contains salicin, which is a chemical similar to Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). It is thought to be responsible for the pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the herb. In fact, in the 1800s, salicin was used to develop aspirin.
