Why did some Native Americans chew willow tree bark?
Willow tree bark is the source of the active ingredient in Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). As a remedy for pain, Native Americans had chewed on the bark to help alleviate the same general pains that we may take aspirin for now. Though I am unsure of the concentration of ASA in a "chewable mouthful" of tree bark, it is likely not as potent as a single tablet of Aspirin. Looks like the shamen/medicine men knew what they were talking about!
