Wildcrafted White Willow Bark, Cut & Sifted (Salix alba) Bulk Herb for Tea

🌿 White Willow Bark, Cut & Sifted (Salix alba) White Willow Bark (Salix alba) is the dried, cut and sifted bark of the white willow tree, the botanical that herbalists across Europe have long reached for to support everyday aches and headaches, and the original natural source of salicin, the compound that later inspired aspirin. Brewed as a decoction, it carries a deeply woody, bitter profile with an astringent, wormwood-like edge over a faint earthy, turnip-like base, the taste of the resinous bark compounds it is prized for. We offer it cut and sifted in bulk so practitioners and home herbalists can measure, blend, and simmer it with ease. White willow is native to the riverbanks and wetlands of Europe and Western Asia, and ours is wildcrafted in Albania, where mature willow stands flourish in the cool, damp ground the tree evolved in.

Because of this, please keep the following in mind: Avoid if you have a sensitivity or allergy to aspirin or other salicylates, as reactions can be serious. It may add to the effect of blood-thinning, antiplatelet, and anti-inflammatory medications, so it is best avoided alongside them. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for children and teenagers, particularly during or after a viral infection. Use caution with asthma, stomach ulcers, gout, or kidney or liver conditions, and discontinue use ahead of any scheduled surgery.

White willow bark contains salicin, a natural relative of the salicylates in aspirin. Because of that, it can add to the effect of blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications, and it is best avoided by anyone with an aspirin or salicylate sensitivity. If you take those medications, or you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or shopping for a child, we recommend talking with a qualified practitioner before use. Every lot we ship carries per-batch lab work you can review, so you always know exactly what is in your bag. How do I brew white willow bark for tea? White willow bark is a woody bark, so we prepare it as a decoction rather than a quick steep. We simmer about one to two teaspoons of the cut and sifted bark per cup of water, gently, for ten to fifteen minutes, then strain. The result is deeply bitter and woody with an astringent, wormwood-like edge, so many people blend it with ginger, peppermint, or a little honey to round it out. Where does your white willow bark come from? White willow is native to the riverbanks and wetlands of Europe and Western Asia, and ours is wildcrafted in Albania, where mature willow stands flourish in exactly the cool, damp conditions the tree evolved in. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry. What if it isn't right for me?
