Salicylic acid isolated from the plant was first synthesized in 1860 and later used to develop aspirin. Meadowsweet helps to reduce inflammation and is used to treat arthritis and rheumatic aches. It is pleasant tasting and really helps the body when it is in pain, suffering from colds and flu and feeling inflamed. Meadowsweet is used in the treatment of hyperacidity, gastritis and peptic ulceration. Its gentle astringency is useful in treating diarrhoea, especially in children and is used with other herbs for irritable bowel syndrome. It soothes and protects the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and stomach lining whilst reducing acidity. Studies have found that meadowsweet can also promote the healing of chronic ulcers and prevent lesions from developing in the stomach. Its gentle astringency is useful in treating heartburn.*

Use 1 tsp. (0.5 - 1g) for a cup of tea (250ml), steep for 5-10 minutes and strain.
