Best Answer

The bark of the Willow plant contains Salicylic acid which is related to acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) and Like Aspirin, the bark of the Cinchona bush is the original source of the chemicals that were used to make Quinine and Paracetamol.

However please note the medical preparations we take as Aspirin and Paracetamol are not those actually found in the plants, they are derivatives of the natural plant chemicals.

Willow was a precursor to synthesized A.S.A.

The twigs and bark of a common willow tree were used in herbal medicine and native healing lore long before aspirin was marketed.
