Meadowsweet

In the mid 1800s, Meadowsweet and White Willow were both used as the basis for the synthesis of aspirin. Today, Meadowsweet gently eases minor discomforts, promotes healthy digestion and provides soothing support for gastrointestinal health.


Meadowsweet is a perfect example of nature’s superiority over man-made pharmaceutical preparations. How so? While its active compound, salicylic acid soothes minor discomforts; Meadowsweet’s other plant compounds gently soothe upset stomach and
occasional heartburn. Take advantage of nature’s wisdom and start reaping the benefits today! DID YOU KNOW? The name “aspirin” is a combination of the first letter of acetyl (aspirin’s chemical name) and "spirin" (Meadowsweet’s genus name, Spiraea).
COMMON NAMES: Filipendula ulmaria, Meadowsweet, Queen of the Meadow Herb (not to be confused with Queen of the Meadow ROOT - Eupatorium purpureum).




Common use:
Promotes healthy digestion; soothes occasional heartburn and occasional acid indigestion; maintains gastrointestinal health; supports joint health (especially in combination with White Willow and Celery Seed); promotes urinary tract health; eases cramps.
