And water comes from burning fossil fuels too, but I doubt that water would be good for you. Ibuprofen comes from the bark of tree IIRC, but that pill is a lot better than the soup you’d have to eat to get not nearly the same effect. Everything is natural. I really hate that argument.

This is salicylic acid, in a number of tree barks but most abundantly in white willow.

The medication form is aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid.

Those are minerals, not plants. A better counterpart would be nightshade and castor plant oil seeds.
