Willow Bark Extract has has a history going back thousands of years, being used orally and topically for its anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects. Only recently have human and animal studies have been published that confirm what natural healers have observed all that time. Studies for back and joint pain as well as  osteoarthritis have proven out the analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits.
