When in-need-of symptoms relief would an herbal alternative be a viable consideration?
Fifth century B.C., Hippocrates wrote
about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that relieved aches pains and
reduced fevers.
In the 1700s, scientist Reverend
Edmund Stone wrote of the success with willow bark to cure "agues" or
fevers with aches. With a bit of chemical detective work
scientists identified salicin as the part of willow bark that was (1) bitter and (2) good for fever
and pain.
In the 1800’s Italian chemist Piria made
salicylic
acid from salicin for the
first; his relatives used high doses to treat symptoms of arthritis and influenza.

Acetyl Salicylic
Acid, the active ingredient in aspirin is a synthetic derivative of salicin, which
occurs naturally in plants notably the willow tree. http://www.aspirin-foundation.com/what/100.html
