Efficacy

1. Treat fever, colds and infections

As "natural aspirin," salicin is used to treat minor fevers, colds, infections (influenza), acute and chronic rheumatic complaints, headaches, and pain due to inflammation. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), a synthetic substitute for salicin, has potentially dangerous gastrointestinal side effects. In its natural form, salicin passes harmlessly through the gastrointestinal system and is converted to salicylic acid in the blood and liver. The conversion process takes several hours, so the results are not immediately felt by the body, but the general effects last for several hours.

2. Reduce arthritis pain and low back pain

Salicin is thought to be the source of white willow bark's anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing abilities. The pain-relieving power of white willow bark usually takes effect slowly but lasts longer than regular aspirin products. A trial found that a herbal compound product containing 100ng of salicin can effectively improve the pain relief ability of arthritis patients after being taken continuously for two months. Another trial found that consuming 1,360 mg of white willow bark extract (containing 240 mg of salicin) daily for two weeks was more effective in treating joint pain and/or arthritis. Using high doses of white willow bark extract may also help relieve low back pain. A four-week trial found that white willow bark extract containing 240mg of salicin was effective in reducing the exacerbation of low back pain

Dosage

White willow bark extract with salicin as standard can be effectively utilized. The generally recommended dosage of salicin is 60-120mg per day. However, recent research suggests that higher intakes such as 240mg per day may be more effective in treating pain.

Safety

Like aspirin, some people may experience gastrointestinal discomfort after taking salicin. Although such symptoms are more likely to come from aspirin than from white willow bark extract, people with ulcers and gastritis should also avoid using the drug. Also, like aspirin, white willow bark extract is not used to treat fever in children.
Clinical research

Clinical research Many non-controlled trials have confirmed that salicin has anti-inflammatory effects, and salicin extracted with 70% ethanol is the most convincing. 78 hospitalized patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated with 240 mg of salicin and placebo for 2 weeks respectively, and the changes in the WOMAC pain index were detected. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups. The patient diaries and all pain evaluation scores also confirmed the effectiveness of the treatment.
