Willow Oil
Willow is known for its winning role in relieving pain. Salicin is derived from the inner stem of a young Willow branch by infusing it in Organic Olive Oil. Willow oil was traditionally used to ease pain for such conditions as lower back pain, sciatic nerve pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, gout, muscle aches, and sprains. Processing is labour intensive as it requires pealing off the outer bark to expose the inner stem. Check with your doctor before using Willow if you are prescribed Aspirin or blood thinners. Limit use to localized areas of pain.
Available in 30g $18, 50g $25, and 100g $35g

Plants are harvested from areas where no herbicides or pesticides are used. They are infused in organic oils whenever possible.
Some nut oils are used in this kitchen and therefore trace amounts could be present in any of the products.
If you have allergies we suggest that you proceed with caution before using any plant derivative.
Wild plants have been used for thousands of years, and information about them has been shared by generations of herbalists and healers in both verbal and written form. At Footloose we make learning an ongoing process and very much look forward to hearing from you. We feel that everyday in the forest is magical with the fresh oxygenated air, the lovely smell of trees, the sound of running fresh water and birds singing, wildlife going about it's business of living, and a rich tapestry of food and medicine everywhere! We are fortunate in Canada to have so much of this.
