Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

Function

3.Use as an analgesic and astringent,

4.Relieve headache,

5.Ease pain caused by rheumatism, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Cranberries are known to treat UTI. It has been proven to be very effective even to treat other health problems. It contains Proanthocyanidins which are also called as the tannins, a type of chemical compound, that have been condensed. These compounds have act a specific way of functioning which block the bacteria from attaching themselves to the surface, linings of the specific body part, especially the linings in the urethra.

Experience has taught us that cranberries have something in them that helps people with urinary tract infections. Many people believe they work by coating bacteria in a way the prevents them from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract so they just wash out.

New data published in the Canadian Journal of Microbiology in July of 2013 demonstrated that cranberry powder can inhibit the ability of Proteus mirabilis (frequently involved in complicated infections) to spread through flagellar activity. A genetic analysis showed that cranberry decreases the gene that encodes the bacteria’s flagellum (tail that propells it). They also found that it reduced its production of urease, an enzyme that contributes to the virulence of infections.

One of the active ingredients in cranberry is the non-metabolizable sugar, d-mannose. Many nutrition-based MDs use a teaspoon three times a day to deal with urinary tract infections.

Another study on the subject showed that cranberry enriched silicone substrates impaired the spread of infections. It may be useful to use this substance to reduce the risk of infections from catheters, pacemakers, and other implantable devices in the human body.
