It is native to Europe, western and central Asia, and north Africa, and naturalized in many parts of North America. \u003cem\u003eSalix alba\u003c\/em\u003e often grows near water, thriving in moist soil and partial shade to full sun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flexible stems of White Willow have been used for basket-making. Tannin from Willow bark has been employed for tanning leather. The bark contains enough indole-3-butyric acid (a plant hormone which stimulates root growth) that a solution of Willow trimmings is sometimes used instead of commercial products to clone rootstock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite Willow bark has been used in Europe, China, Egypt, and the Near East since ancient times to relieve many kinds of pain and to reduce fevers. Salicin was extracted from the bark and isolated in the form of salicyclic acid in the nineteenth century, leading to the development of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Herbalists have also used White Willow bark as a digestive tonic, for treating intestinal parasites and chronic diarrhea, and as a topical antiseptic and astringent for wounds, ulcers, and eczema. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
