The willow (Salix alba), also known as 'white willow' in English, naturally contains the bioactive substance salicin. This tree is common in the Netherlands. In 1828, the German pharmacist Johann Andreas Buchner discovered that the bark of the willow tree contains high concentrations of the glycoside salicin. This substance is beneficial for maintaining flexible joints and muscle health.

Woddruff Sweet (Galium aparine) belongs to the star-leaved family (Rubiaceae). This plant is known for its ability to cling to objects it comes into contact with, thanks to the numerous hooks on both the stem and fruits. This causes plants and fruits to get caught in the fur of animals, resulting in widespread dispersal over great distances.
Cleaver leaves are widest above the middle and have one central vein. They grow together in whorls of seven. These leaves also have hooks, albeit less than the rest of the plant. The stem is thickened at the tips.
