Willow bark water

What is Willow Bark Water?

Willow bark water is obtained from the bark of several species of trees belonging to the genus Salix, with white willow (Salix alba) being one of the most commonly used. These trees grow in temperate regions around the world, especially in North America, Europe, and Asia. The bark is harvested in spring when levels of salicin, the main active compound, are highest. Willow bark water is produced through an aqueous extraction process that preserves its natural properties.

Benefits:
