Characterized by long, green leaves and spring catkins, the bark, harvested from young trees in spring, has been employed by Native American healers for centuries. The journey from willow bark to aspirin began in 1828, with German chemist Felix Hoffmann isolating the active ingredient, salicin. By 1899, Bayer introduced acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin, revolutionizing joint pain treatment. **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Caution is advised for individuals sensitive to aspirin or other salicylate-containing drugs.
