White Willow Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

White Willow (Salix alba) is a large deciduous tree of the willow family, Salicaceae, native to Europe, western and central Asia and North Africa and naturalized in North America along rivers, lakeshores and wet meadows. It grows 20 to 25 meters with a broad, open crown, grey-brown bark deeply fissured on old trunks, and slender, lanceolate leaves covered in fine silky white hairs beneath, which give the tree its silvery look and its name. Slender yellow catkins appear with the leaves in spring. The bark of young branches is harvested in spring. We extract the dried bark.
