Sydnia Ginger Anady, Wanda June 6, 2023 at 2:46 PM #39440 PaigeStudent It is my understanding it can. Here is the latin name and it should have similar properties. Salix caprea. I hope this is correct and can help you. PMR 1 user thanked author for this post. Kerstin Houger June 16, 2023 at 11:46 AM #39696 Dr. Patrick JonesHomestead Instructor Yup. Salix plants are usually very similar medicinally. Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider. 1 user thanked author for this post.
