• Got a toothache? Headache? Cramps? Need an Aspirin? Thank the Mi’kmaq for this wonderful miracle drug. The active ingredient, salicylic acid, used in Aspirin was known and used by the Mi’kmaq for thousands of years and introduced to the early colonists. The Mi’kmaq found salicylic acid in the 15-20 different species of Willow tree, including the pussy willow.
