Willow is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, due to its salicin content, a chemical compound similar to aspirin. What is the difference between willow and wicker? Wicker is a type of willow used as a material for weaving baskets and other products. There are several species of willow, including white willow (Salix alba), weeping willow or weeping willow (Salix babylonica), dwarf willow (Salix retusa), wicker (Salix viminalis), goat willow (Salix caprea), creeping willow (Salix matsudana) or fragrant willow/salcioara (Elaeagnus angustifolia), a decorative species. Not all are used to obtain natural extracts – white willow is usually used in remedies.
Forms of release
Willow-based products are available in several forms:
- willow tea;
- willow tincture;
- willow extract;
- willow-based supplements;
- creams or ointments with willow.
Some types of products are known as natural aspirin, because salicin in white willow bark extract is considered the original natural source of aspirin. Several parts of the plant can be used to obtain extracts and natural products, including the leaves, bark or buds of willow. The fluffy buds are also called willow catkins.
Indications for use
Willow-based products have numerous uses when it comes to health and the proper functioning of the body. Indications usually vary depending on the type of product. For example, willow extract is used to relieve pain, supplements are used for various inflammatory conditions that cause pain and discomfort, including arthritis, and willow leaf tea has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, willow-based products protect the immune system, may even have antiseptic and fever-reducing properties, can support athletic performance and improve mood.
Dosage and administration
Dosages and methods of administration vary depending on the type of product. Salvia tea is made from 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb or one sachet per cup of water, left to infuse – drink 3 cups per day before meals. Willow-based supplements are usually taken 1-2 capsules 3 times a day after meals, but this depends on each product – read the label and package insert for the recommended doses. Willow extract is administered by dissolving 1-3 ml in water, taken 2-3 times a day – doses vary depending on age. Take willow treatments as recommended by your doctor. The recommended duration of treatment is usually 1-3 months – it can be repeated after a break.
Contraindications
Willow-based products are contraindicated in people with allergies to aspirin or salicylates. They may also be contraindicated in cases of gastric ulcer or other digestive problems, haematological or renal diseases. Talk to your doctor and inform them of any medical conditions you have.
Interactions with other medicines and foods
Willow products may interact with anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications, as well as some anti-inflammatory drugs. It is best to talk to your doctor and inform them of any medications you are taking.
Side
Willow-based products are safe, but may sometimes cause stomach discomfort in high doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any reactions.
Overdose
Avoid excessive doses to prevent any discomfort or reactions. In high doses, willow products may cause stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting and headaches.
Storage
Store products in a cool, dry place.

FAQ
Does willow affect driving?
No, willow products do not affect driving.
Willow or aspirin: which is better?
Willow contains salicin, a compound that can be converted into salicylic acid in the body, the substance from which aspirin is derived. However, willow does not naturally contain the same amount of salicylic acid as aspirin, and there may be differences in the absorption and effectiveness of these substances. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and has multiple uses, such as reducing pain, inflammation and fever. It is also often used to prevent thrombosis and heart attacks. Talk to your doctor before taking any medication or supplements, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
Can I take willow during pregnancy?
It is recommended to avoid these products during pregnancy and breastfeeding or to take them only as directed by your doctor.
Willow or mint? Which is better?
Both natural products can have multiple health benefits. Unlike willow, which has mainly analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, mint mainly helps with gastrointestinal disorders, such as indigestion or stomach discomfort. Mint tea is often recommended for stomach ache or other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Due to their specific scent, products containing mint, such as mint essential oil, also help to calm the nervous system and improve brain function. Mint is also found in many products for colds and flu, helping to reduce nasal congestion and improve breathing.
Willow or lime blossom?
Nature offers numerous remedies, and willow and lime are two of them. Both are popular remedies with numerous benefits. However, while willow has mainly anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, lime is known for its relaxing, calming and anti-anxiety properties. Linden tea is a well-known calming remedy for stress, anxiety or insomnia. The compounds in linden can also boost immunity, help with colds, ease breathing, lower blood pressure and calm the nervous system.
Willow or oak? Which is the best remedy?
Both types of natural products, whether willow or oak, have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Oak is used in many ways for health – for example, gargling with oak bark infusion for inflammation and sore throats or gingivitis, topical products based on oak extract for acne, haemorrhoids or eczema, and products with oak extract for digestive health.
