Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is not directly made from a specific plant. Instead, it is synthesized chemically, though its precursor, para-aminophenol, can be derived from natural sources such as coal tar or through chemical processes. Historically, compounds derived from willow bark, which contains salicin, were used for pain relief, but they are not the same as paracetamol. Thus, while there are natural origins for some pain-relieving compounds, paracetamol itself is produced synthetically.
