For the ache that outlasted the week.

Willow — seileach. A heaping teaspoon of dried cut bark per cup of cold water. Cover it, leave it on the counter overnight, eight hours, strain in the morning. Cold maceration, not a boil. The cold isn't fussiness — heat drags the tannins out hard and you end up with something that tastes like a wet fence post and sits badly.

Salicin is where aspirin came from, so the same cautions ride along: not for anyone who can't take aspirin, not for children or teenagers, not alongside blood thinners, not without asking whoever knows your chart.

The willow has been doing this since long before the patent office existed. It can wait for you to check.

What do you reach for when the low back has been gripping since Monday?
