The next morning, strain the bark and drink the infusion twice a day, spaced throughout the day. Willow bark tea: Willow bark tea has proven effective in treating feverish colds, headaches, joint ailments, and rheumatic complaints. The preparation is always the same. Dosage is as follows (for use with children, please consult your naturopathic practitioner or pediatrician):

• For colds and joint pain: 12 grams of willow bark
• Headaches: 8 to 15 grams of willow bark

Add 1 teaspoon (about 3.5 grams) of finely chopped willow bark to 250 milliliters of cold water. Slowly heat the mixture to a boil and then strain it through a fine sieve. Alternatively, pour 1 teaspoon of willow bark into a cup of boiling water, let the tea steep for 20 minutes, and then remove the bark.
