Salix Alba White Willow

Salix Alba, or the White Willow, is a tree that primarily occurs in Europe and Asia. This tree often grows near water and has a distinctive bark and green leaves. Traditionally, the White Willow has been used for centuries due to its properties. The bark contains salicin, a substance that can be converted in the body into salicylic acid, similar to the active component of aspirin.

In dogs, White Willow can be used to support the joints and as a natural remedy to relieve discomfort. For chickens, the use of White Willow can contribute to improved overall health and well-being, as it may help promote healthy digestion. For horses, it is sometimes used as a supportive aid for the joints and to promote their active lifestyle.

The use of Salix Alba should always be done in consultation with a veterinarian to ensure the correct dosage and application. Despite the traditional uses, it is important to emphasize that scientific evidence for its effectiveness in animals is limited.
