As a remedy for occasional headaches or muscle pain, steep 1 to 1½ tsp. in one cup boiling hot water 10 minutes, drink one or two daily, as needed.
As an antiseptic wash, use a strong decoction of willow bark, made by simmering one cup of bark in a pint of water for 12 to 15 minutes. This wash is especially good for painful, hard to heal infections and abscesses. This also makes a good antiseptic wash for sweaty feet or gargle for gum and tonsil inflammations.
For an occasional diuretic, steep ¼ cup of fresh or dried willow bark in one pint of boiling hot water for twenty minutes. Strain and take in ½ cup doses throughout the day.
To relieve fevers, steep 1 tsp. of dried bark in one cup boiling hot water 10 minutes, take as needed. Also useful for soothing urethral and bladder irritability.
As a rinse to treat dandruff, simmer one cup dried leaves with ½ cup dried bark in one pint of water for two minutes. Use one to two cups as a rinse after shampooing.

- There are approximately 24 native willows in this region ranging from prostrate and dwarf shrubs to small trees. Individual species can be highly variable and hybridization is common. Their leaves are typically long and narrow with smooth edges but can also be nearly round and sometimes with finely toothed edges; they vary from hairless to being covered in densely silky hairs and sometimes have a whitish cast or bloom. Willows have tiny flowers borne in catkins with the male and female catkins on separate plants. The flowers develop pointed capsules that split open to release the many tiny seeds, each with a tuft of cottony hairs.
