Deborah, I have not used White Willow Bark, but have used Birch essential oil. In my experience, individuals allergic to aspirin (a single chemical constituent -acetylsalicylic acid-) appear to have not problem when using all the minute chemical constituents that nature provides in her products rather than fractionated pharmacy products. Personally I would try a bit as a tea, and monitor results. I have enjoyed the benefits of many herbs, barks, trees, stems, from nature. If you took it too a Chinese herbalist, they should be able to tell you as they use many grasses, roots, trees etc in the broth's they prescribe for people to cook up in the Chinese cooking pots.
