White Willow, Salix alba

The primary action of White Willow Gemmo is as a harmonizer for both the central and autonomic nervous systems. This makes it particularly beneficial for those experiencing heightened stress or anxiety.

Why Olena Loves White Willow Gemmo
I love White Willow for its ability to calm and stabilize the nervous system, especially during periods of overwhelm and anxiety. It’s a gentle, effective remedy for those who need support with emotional regulation, sleep issues, and mood instability. I find it particularly helpful for clients dealing with stress-induced anxiety or for those who need to reconnect with their bodies during emotional turmoil.

The White Willow Tree
White Willow is the largest species in the willow family, reaching heights of up to 90 feet (30 meters) tall, with a lifespan of 50 to 75 years. Native to Europe, Russia, and parts of China, it is commonly found along riverbanks, lakes, ponds, streams, and wet hollows. While fast-growing, White Willow has a relatively short lifespan, living for only 20-30 years. It thrives in sandy, silty, or calcareous soils, with shallow, far-reaching roots that require consistent access to water.

In ancient times, Willow branches were used for wattle and daub walls, basket weaving, and agricultural fencing. The bark, rich in salicin, has been used for centuries as a pain reliever and is one of the oldest medicinal plant remedies. The Willow tree is also deeply rooted in Celtic tradition, symbolizing the moon and enchantment, often associated with healing and transformation.

Within the Restoring Immunity System
Nervous System Support
White Willow in microdoses (1-3 drops) is highly effective for managing generalized anxiety and overwhelm, particularly when these emotions lead to disconnection from the body. It helps stabilize mood swings and can provide a sense of safety, which is essential for emotional reconnection. It’s beneficial for those who experience physical sensations of stress, such as a buzzing throughout the body, or emotional states that result in tears or anger.

Elimination Support
There is no direct effect of White Willow on elimination.

Alkalizing Support
White Willow can continue to support the nervous system when used in microdoses, helping to maintain emotional balance and stability. It is particularly useful for managing stress during challenging times, supporting overall mental health and wellbeing.

Acute Applications
White Willow can be used in acute situations such as panic attacks, especially when microdosed in combination with Common Fig. It is beneficial in providing immediate calming effects during emotional overload.
