Willow Bark
Willow bark is the original source of aspirin, but when used as the entire herb it has been found to be much safer than aspirin. The active ingredient in it is salicin. White willow bark is typically taken in the form of a tea, or in the form of powdered herb capsules in doses of 60-240 milligrams of standardized salicin daily. Taking white willow bark can help to relieve pain associated with tension and migraine headaches.
