White Willow Bark Powder

White Willow is a bitter, digestive herb, with the bark being the potent part.

Famous for being the original source of salicylic acid (the precursor to aspirin), but unlike aspirin, it does not thin the blood.

Benefits 

• Used for thousands of years to relieve joint pain and manage fevers
• An excellent remedy for arthritic and rheumatic pain affecting joints
• Powerful anti-inflammatory properties 
• May assist in improving circulation 
• Recognised as an antiseptic, analgesic, tonic and astringent
• Pain reliever, known as a natural alternative for 'bute'  
• Relieves inflammation and swelling and works to improve mobility in aching, painful joints

The balance of ingredients found in white willow bark poses almost no ill-effects on the gastro-intestinal tract. Aspirin, even in tiny doses, can cause ulcers, blood-vessel fragility and irritation to the digestive system. White Willow Bark Powder may be used safely for long periods.

White willow bark can be used in an external hoof-oil preparation for general healing and hoof health. Simply mix with linseed (flaxseed) oil and apply as needed. Use as a hoof-problem preventative, or to improve circulation of the hoof.
