Weeping Willow

Description

Weeping Willow Discussion:

We are lucky enough to have full access to 4 beautiful weeping willow trees that the owner takes loving care of and prefers to keep them as small as possible. This means every year, when she prunes the fresh, green branch growth off, she hands them over to us! We gather our bark from another location, to blend in with the fresh leaf and branches to create a unique blend!

Weeping willow is a highly respected herb. It is called “Nature’s Aspirin” because it contains salicylic acid, which is what aspirin is made with. It is obviously used by many for chronic pain. It is astringent and a tonic. Many make tea with the leaf and new stem growth, to use on abscesses, arthritis, skin complaints, ulcers, and chronic pain. The bark is used by others for diarrhea, but it can also be used in a poultice. The bark is actually said to be extremely helpful for parasites within the skin layer. It can be used to take a detox bath in. The fresh bark of all species of weeping willow contains salicin, which may decompose into salicylic acid, the “aspirin” compound.

Weeping willow is a smokeable herb. Even when smoked, it is said to have a cooling, pain-relieving effect. It must be blended with other herbs, as it does not burn well.

Product Variations:

We highly recommend getting 2 different variations of the following to know exactly what a specific herb will, or will not do for you, as well as to achieve saturation.

Standard Tincture – Herbal compounds extracted in an alcohol base. Alcohol offers a superior absorption rate. We recommend allowing your dose to sit under the tongue for 3+ minutes, then swallowing it down with a drink of water. Otherwise, you may add it to 4 oz. of water, juice, or a smoothie. Microscopic compounds are readily available to be absorbed through tissues, into the bloodstream, and then circulated to organs.

Lipospheric Tincture – This is a standard tincture that is put through an energetic process. We collide the herbal compounds with oxygen molecules, to encase them both within an oxygenated bubble. The difference can be clearly seen because the tincture lightens in color. The lipospheres’ may have the capability to surpass the bioavailability of a standard tincture, although it exhibits all of the same benefits.

Glycerite – Herbal compounds extracted in vegetable glycerin. This contains NO alcohol and NO sugar. The taste of glycerin resembles syrup, which makes it ideal for children. This version may be best for those highly sensitive or are seeking a nonalcoholic extraction. Doses may need to be up to three times higher than a tincture to receive similar benefits. They can be taken in the same way as tinctures, which is in 4 oz. of water, juice, or a smoothie.

Vegetarian Capsule – Size 00, vegetarian capsules, hand-encapsulated, to order. The capsule is swallowed with at least 4 oz. of water or juice, which is broken down by stomach acids. Once the herbal compounds go through digestion, they then get absorbed by tissues.

Herbal Tea – Teabags are handmade to order and can be brewed up to three times each. The constituents will be continually extracted with each brew. Be sure to squeeze the bag gently upon finishing your cup of lovely tea. The label specifies the brewing instructions, which highly depends on the parts of the plant that are used in the tea. Keep in mind, this is medicinal tea and there are no additives. It may be best to drink as is, without adding a sugar substitute. Don’t forget the slurry, medicinal residue that settles to the bottom of the cup!

Loose Herbal Powder – We take pride in the freshness and quality of our herbal powders, as we hand-grind down each herb to order, as well as in any above process. Our inventory of herbs is always purchased, when possible, in whole form, if it is not wildcrafted by us. We ethically wildcraft many herbs, which ensures the highest content of medicinal compounds and freshness. We also attempt to include every part of the plant, if possible. We believe wildcrafted, and full spectrum to be the superior version of any herb. If an herb is wildcrafted, it will indicate so on each label by the abbreviation “WC”. The same goes for full spectrum, as each label indicates the parts used. We give multiple part options for each herb individually as well. 

All variations are animal & child-safe, at the appropriate dosage. View our child’s dosage guide by Clicking Here.
