        I have found white willow to be very beneficial for the achiness that comes with OA in my hip and lower back.  Is this safe to use daily as a maintenance herb?

          Willow is very safe. That said, I do recommend that any long term herb user take a day off every couple of weeks or so.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              Taking a day off every couple of weeks or so is EASY when you have memory issues LOL!  I’m thrilled if I actually remember to take my tinctures every day – and it’s rare that I make a week without forgetting at least one day.  Who knew there was a side benefit from having a bad memory!?

                  This one can help with that…if you remember to take it. LOL
