INTERNAL USE REMEDIES WITH WILLOW
Pain: The Greek physician Hypocrates prescribed remedies with willow leaves to alleviate problems related with pain. Many old cultures have used the leaves of plants that contain salicin for this purpose. Willows have been used and are being used like an alternative to the aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) in fact the aspirin was extracted initially from this plant, besides the meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), the gaultheria (Gaultheria sp.), poplars (Populus sp.) and some species of birches (Betula sp.) before it could be synthesized chemically in the year 1890.
Its content in salicin becomes salicylic acid in the organism inhibiting the prostaglandins and reducing the pain sensation, specially if we consider that, besides being analgesic it also presents anti inflammatory properties.
Therefore, it can be used to palliate the pain in all type of manifestations: headache, neck pain, muscular distensions and pains, muscular atrophy, fibromyalgia, sciatica, earaches, rheumatic pains, pains in the menstruation, etc.
Fever: Besides the analgesic properties, salicin also presents antipyretic properties that is to say it helps to diminish fever, in such a way that, until the appearance of the aspirin, it was habitually used and it is still being used in some places as substitute of the chinchona (Cinchona pubescens) whose alkaloid quinine has been a resource to combat malaria and other fevers.
Respiratory system: Equally we can use its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties to treat the infections of the throat, in illnesses so well-known as sore throat or pharyngitis (Decoction of 50 gr. of dry bark for a liter of water during 15 minutes. Carry out gargles with the resulting liquid)
Circulatory system diseases: Willow presents anticoagulant properties so that it impedes the thrombus formation or blood clots inside the arteries or the veins because of the accumulation of blood platelets. The use of this it plants makes blood more fluid and helps our body to avoid the appearance of certain cardiovascular illnesses, such as brain haemorrhages, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, heart attacks or bad circulation in general (Infusion of a small spoonful of bark for a glass of water. Drink a glass every two days)
