Main function
1. Treat fever, colds and infectionsAs a "natural aspirin", salicin is used to treat mild fever, cold, infection (influenza), acute and chronic rheumatic discomfort, headache and pain caused by inflammation. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), as a synthetic substitute for salicin, has potential side effects on the stomach and intestines. As its natural configuration, salicin can be
harmlessly converted into salicylic acid in the blood and * through the gastrointestinal system. The conversion process
takes several hours, so the result will not be immediately felt by the human body, but the general effect will last for several hours.
2. Relieve arthritis pain and low back painSalicin is considered to be the source of the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ability of white willow bark. White Willow Bark's analgesic effect usually takes a slower time but lasts longer than the effects of ordinary aspirin products. An experiment found that a class of herbal compound products containing 100ng of salicin can effectively improve the analgesic ability of patients with arthritis after taking it for two months. Another trial found that taking 1,360 mg of white willow bark extract (containing 240 mg of salicin) daily for two weeks may have a better effect on the treatment of joint pain and / or arthritis. Using high-dose white willow bark extract may also help relieve back pain. An experiment lasting four weeks found that the extract of white willow bark containing 240 mg of salicin can effectively reduce the worsening of back pain.
