Willow,: The dried bark is available in whole form or pulverized for teas, capsules, tablets, and other products. Bark should contain at least 1 percent salicin. Dose: A standard dose is 1-2g (1/4-1/2tsp) of the powered bark (corresponding to 20-40mg of salicin). Taken three times a day, it could deliver as much as 120mg of salicin. Varro Tyler calculates that, due to the low salicin content of most commercial will bark, it would take between three pints and five quarts of willow bark tea to provide a single dose of aspirin. Therefore, it would be difficult to achieve a similar therapeutic effect. Cautions: Willow bark is high in tannins, which can damage the liver. Because willow bark produces salicin,it is suggested to be to be contraindicated in the same instances as aspirin for stomach ulcers and, in children, for high fevers. However, salicin does not metabolize the same as aspirin, so the contraindications may not apply.
