Organic Willow Oil is nature’s first asprin. Salix alba (white willow) is commonly known as Bay willow. Salix is a large deciduous tree native to Europe, Middle East, and Western Asia. In the Bible, the willow is known as the healing tree from sorrows and woes. It is very fitting that Willow produces pain-relieving medicine.
The willow was also used during the festival of Tabernacles, the altar is decorated with willow branches which were brought from Moẓa near Jerusalem. There is undoubtedly a connection between the willow growing by the waterside and the prayer for water on Hoshana Rabba, as well as the prayer for rain on Shemini Aẓeret (eighth day of solemn assembly), the last day of Tabernacles, when “they are judged in respect of water” (RH 1:2)
This oil is made from Israel’s own White Willow bark and Leaf infused into Israeli Desert Date Palm Oil for 50 days. During this process, the leaves are removed and replaced with newly dried leaves three times. The willow bark chips remain until the end of the 50-day process. The healing properties are considered miraculous and Mystical. The willow has no Aroma when it is infused into water and oil it becomes Nature’s Asprin and has a medicinal spicy green sweet aroma.
The Bible describes the willow as a tree that grows rapidly near water (Isa. 44:4) and in whose shade the *Behemoth reclines (Job 40:22). The exiles from Judea hung their harps on willows by the rivers of Babylon, loath “to sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land” (Ps. 137:2). The willow is one of the *Four Species of the Lulav that is used every day during the Sukkot festival of Tabernacles.
The wood withstands rot and was therefore used for building boats called arba, the spelling for aravah in Aramaic and Syrian. Its fruit contains soft fibers, which are the petilat ha-idan (“wick of bast”), used as wicks for lamps (Shab. 2:1).
Two species of willow, the Salix acmophylla, and Salix alba grow wild in Israel on the bank of streams and rivers. Another species, Salix babylonica, the weeping willow, originated in Asia. -Loew, Flora, 3 (1924), 323–37; J. Feliks, Olam ha-Ẓome’aḥha-Mikra’i (19682), 113–5
Psalm 137:1-9
By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our lyres. For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill! …
Leviticus 23:40
And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
Ezekiel 17:4-6
He broke off the topmost of its young twigs and carried it to a land of trade and set it in a city of merchants. Then he took of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters. He set it like a willow twig, and it sprouted and became a low spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out boughs.
Isaiah 53:1-12
Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of the dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
Psalm
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law, he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
