Willow Bark Compound

Willow Bark Compound is a traditional joint and muscle formula containing herbs to ease inflammation, reduce spasm and cramp, and improve circulation. White willow is famously one of the plant origins of synthetically formulated aspirin, which is isolated acetylsalicylic acid rather than various salicylic acids (with many other compounds) present in willow which were the starting point for this drug's development. Devil’s claw, prickly ash and bogbean are other herbs traditionally specific for easing osteo and rheumatoid arthritis as well as increasing peripheral circulation which helps with mobility and removal of waste products and toxins. Use this formula regularly to build up in effect alongside a good massage with our Rheuma Cream or Chilli Muscle Rub.
