Viridian Organic White Willow 400mg

Description

The bark of the stately white willow tree (Salix alba) has been used as a medicine in China for centuries and is still popular amongst herbalists today.

White willow bark contains an active ingredient called salicin, which can be converted by the body into salicylic acid. The first aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was made from a different salicin-containing herb, meadowsweet, which works in a very similar way. Although all aspirin is now chemically synthesized, it is not surprising that white willow bark is often colloquially referred to as ‘herbal aspirin’.

Viridian’s white willow has been certified organic by the Soil Association to make a supplement that is better for both you and for the planet.

Contains 100% active ingredients formulated by expert nutritionists with no artificial fillers and no nasties. Sourced according to Viridian’s strict ethical criteria including no animal testing, GMO or palm oil.
