Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

First off, it works wonders for the many who suffer from UTI or in other words a urinary tract infection.

Cranberry juice contains what is called proanthocyanidins…

This property has been shown to help stop bacteria from binding itself to the bladder allowing the bacteria to flush out of the body.

Cranberry juice also makes the urine acidic which kills that bacteria as well.

Beyond curing UTI’s the flavanoids in cranberries can help lower the risk of heart problems and help boost your heart health.

You see those flavanoids help to reduce the accumulation of plaques on the arteries which causes lack of oxygen rich blood flow which can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Cranberries have also shown to help boost good cholesterol’ by up to 121 percent.

It can even keep your teeth looking right!

All natural cranberry juice can also help prevent tooth decay by inhibiting bacteria growth, thus preventing the decay of teeth due to cavities.

Just watch out for the sugar content before you go nuts with it.

And speaking of sugar… since it is so bitter… all natural juice that is…

it may aid in weight loss if you substitute it for some of the other more sugary drinks you may be consuming.

Another great reason to get on the Cranberry bandwagon is that cranberry juice has been shown to inhibit the growth of various cancer cells.

Studies have also shown that flavanoids, which cranberries are rich in, help to reduce the risk of cancer too.

There was a study at Cornell University found that cranberry extract killed off cancer cells within HOURS when tested on human breast cancer cells.

Along with that… it’s a great immunity booster, it has loads of vitamin C and it’s even been shown to aid in healthy pregnancies.
