As a member of the willow family, white poplar also contains the constituent “salicin,” the compound used to make aspirin. It is gentler than aspirin and useful for treating arthritic pain, chronic diarrhea, urinary complaints and menstrual cramping. The bark is known for its anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.
