Birch bark is useful, but it is not the source of aspirin. The natural "equivalent" to aspirin is salicylic acid and is found in willow bark. Along with meadowsweet, this is often said to be the original source of aspirin. However, as people with salicylate sensitivity will testify, actually the substance is in a huge variety of plants, probably the majority of plants that are commonly eaten.

As for cedar, if you mean Thuja officinalis, there is evidence that it is useful. Nothing can ever be proven in science because science isn't about proving things but about attempting to find ways of disproving them. I use Thuja as an antiviral and against warts, and it works.

Did you mean white cedar (Thuja), red cedar (Juniper) or true cedar?

Juniper tea and spruce tea was used as a source of Vitamin C during the winter months when fresh vegetables weren't available. When Jacques Cartier first came to Quebec, with his ship's men suffering from scurvy, the native people showed him how to make spruce and cedar tea.

To search for clinical trials, use PubMed (link below), the latin name of the plant you mean as the search term and "human" and "clinical trial" in the limits
