Our willow bark is lovingly donated by Seamus once or twice a year. Seamus is an older gentletree and needed a lot of TLC to rejuvenate his branches. We did it, though! With dedication and a lot of help from Momma Earth, Seamus sprouted new branches and has the best sense of humor! His medicine offers jokester grandpa energy with all the seasoned tips on how to alleviate inflamed areas in our lives.
