White Willow Bark Extract

White willow bark is the #1 herb for pain relief.  It’s a natural alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen for different types of pain, including headache, backache, joint pain and arthritis. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory. It boosts the immune system and reduces fevers. White willow bark extract contains antioxidants and offers powerful
antimicrobial effects. 
Menstrual cramps are often due to inflammation and muscle contractions in the uterus trom the hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. Researchers believe that willow bark can rebalance prostaglandin levels and alleviate inflammation. This not only calms cramps, but other symptoms of PMS as well. However, it is important to note that because it has blood-thinning capabilities, white willow bark may increase bleeding during menstruation.
