Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid), a Synthetic replacement for Salicin, is a Blood Thinner, which has been used to prevent Blood Clots, but it has potentially DANGEROUS Gastrointestinal Side-Effects. But in it's Natural form, Salicin passes HARMLESSLY through the Gastrointestinal Tract, becoming Saligenin and Glucose. The Saligenin is then converted to Salicylic Acid in the Blood and the Liver. The Conversion Process takes a few hours, so results will NOT be felt IMMEDIATELY, but are usually sustained for several hours.

Salicin is HELPFUL for mild feverish Colds and Infections (Influenza), Acute and Chronic Rheumatic Disorders, mild Headaches, and Pain caused by Inflammation. But it does NOT have the DANGEROUS Side-Effects associated with Aspirin.
