Arthritis Pain in North America hasreached enormous proportions. Millions of people suffer from some form of arthritis, with a huge impact on their quality of life. According to a 1990 study, Management The Search for Natural Solutions
Conventional medical treatments for arthritispain often have serious side effects. COX-2 inhibitors, which are widely prescribed for arthritis pain and inflammation are currently under scrutiny for raising the risk of heart attacks. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) frequently cause symptoms of ulcers, nausea, stomach pains, and acid reflux. Powerful steroids, prescribed for rhuematoid arthritis can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, and facial swelling. The search for effective and safe White Willow Bark
The bark of the stately white willow tree (Salix alba) has been used in China for centuries as a medicine because of its ability to relieve pain and lower fever. Early settlers to America found Native Americans gathering bark from indigenous willow trees for similar purposes.
The active ingredient in white willow is salicin, which the body converts into salicylic acid. The first aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was made from a different salicin-containing herb—meadowsweet—but works in essentially the same way. All aspirin is now chemically synthesized. It's not surprising, then, that white willow bark is often called "herbal aspirin." Although white willow is the species of willow tree most commonly used for medicinal purposes, other salicin-rich species are employed as well, including crack willow (Salix fragilis), purple willow (Salix purpurea), and violet willow (Salix daphnoides). These all may be sold under the label of willow bark. The salicylic acid in white willow bark lowers the body's levels of prostaglandins, hormonelike compounds that can cause aches, pain, and inflammation. While white willow bark takes longer to begin acting than aspirin, its effect may last longer. And, unlike aspirin, it doesn't cause stomach bleeding or Specifically, white willow bark may help to:
•Relieve acute and chronic pain, including headache, back and neck pain, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps. The effectiveness of white willow bark for easing these and other types of discomforts results from its power to lower prostaglandin levels.• Control arthritis discomforts. Some arthritis sufferers taking white willow bark have experienced reduced swelling and inflammation, and eventually increased mobility, in the back, knees, hips, and other joints.
