White willow bark was used to relieve headaches and inflammation and it's main ingredient is salicylic acid..... which is now aspirin. If you look up "foods that contain salicylates" you will see a bunch of them. To me eating foods would be better than taking pills... taste better too!!!
YMMV
Some foods that have salicylates include:Almonds.Apples.Apricots.Berries.Cherries.Coffee.Cucumbers and pickles.Grapes and raisins.
