○ Latin name: Salix alba ○ Dosage: 200 mg per capsule The white willow (Salix alba) is a tree native to Europe and Asia, belonging to the Salicaceae family. It is also known as common willow or silver willow due to the silver color of its foliage. The white willow is a medium-sized tree that can reach a height of 20 to 30 meters. It has smooth, gray bark and narrow, elongated leaves, which can be up to 10 cm long. White willow flowers are small and inconspicuous, and appear before the leaves in spring. The fruits are capsules containing seeds provided with a down which facilitates their dispersal by the wind. ֍ The active ingredient in white willow bark, salicylic acid, was first isolated from willow bark by French chemist Charles Frederic Gerhardt in 1838. It was this discovery that led to the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid, better known as aspirin, in 1897 by German chemist Felix Hoffmann
