Willow
(Salix species)

Description: A tree, 75-80 feet high or a shrub. The deeply fused, dark gray bark is rough. The twigs are reddish brown. Ashy-gray leaves are alternate, lanceolate, serrate and silky on both sides. The male and female flowers occur on separate trees, appearing in catkins on leafy stalks at the same time as the leaves.
Found throughout the U.S. in moist places.

Medicinal: It is a anodyne, antiseptic, astringent, diaphoretic, diuretic, febrifuge, and tonic. The bark, from the new, smooth barked branches is used to alleviate pain, reduce fever, inflammation, internal bleeding, heartburn, stomach ailments, and food poisoning. Soak 1-3 teaspoons of the bark to 1 cup cold water for 2-5 hours, bring to a boil. Take 1 cup a day, unsweetened, a mouthful at a time. A decoction is used as a gargle for gum and tonsil problems or a footbath for sweaty feet and to remove corns.
