About

Meadowsweet from Poland is a beautifully aromatic herb traditionally prized for its gentle support of joint and digestive health. Known botanically as Filipendula ulmaria, this flowering herb features delicate white blossoms and is often used in herbal teas and infusions. Our premium-grade Meadowsweet is carefully sourced and dried to preserve its natural salicylate compounds, which offer soothing properties similar to willow bark. With a light, sweet scent reminiscent of almonds and honey, Meadowsweet is a favourite among herbalists for calming inflammation, easing discomfort, and balancing digestion—naturally and gently.

 

Benefits

  • Natural relief: Traditionally used to ease aches and discomfort in the body.
  • Digestive support: Gentle on the stomach and commonly included in soothing digestive blends.
  • Mild astringent: Offers support for gut and urinary health.
  • Floral aroma: Adds a soft, sweet scent to herbal tea blends and tinctures.

 

Directions of Use

  • Steep 1–2 teaspoons per cup in hot water for 10–15 minutes to make a soothing herbal infusion.
  • Combine with chamomile, peppermint, or calendula for a relaxing digestive tea.
  • Use in herbal wellness formulas or natural body care applications.
  • Store in an airtight container away from light and moisture.

Herb icon

What is Meadowsweet?

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is a fragrant herb with clusters of creamy-white flowers that grows in damp meadows. The dried herb, including its flowers and leaves, has been used for centuries in traditional European herbalism to make a pleasant-tasting tea.

Flavour icon

What does Meadowsweet tea taste like?

Meadowsweet tea has a unique and very agreeable flavour. It is pleasant, sweet, and aromatic with floral and almond-like notes, similar to marzipan. Its lovely aroma is one of the main reasons for its popularity.

Science icon

Is Meadowsweet related to Aspirin?

Yes, it has a famous historical connection. The compound salicylic acid was first isolated from Meadowsweet in 1838. This compound was later synthesized to create aspirin. Because it contains salicylates (aspirin-like compounds), it should not be used by anyone with an aspirin allergy.

Traditional use icon

What is Meadowsweet traditionally used for?

In traditional herbalism, Meadowsweet was famously used as a soothing tea for the digestive system, particularly for an acidic or upset stomach (which is why it's often searched for with terms like 'acid reflux' or 'GERD'). It was also used for fevers and joint discomfort. This product is sold as a food-grade tea only.

Comparison icon

What is the difference between Meadowsweet and Marshmallow Root?

They are often used for similar traditional purposes (digestion) but work very differently. Meadowsweet is an aromatic, astringent herb containing salicylates. Marshmallow Root is a 'mucilaginous' herb, meaning it's slimy and gooey, and is used to coat and soothe tissues. They are not alike in flavour or texture.

Warning icon

Who should not take Meadowsweet?

You must avoid Meadowsweet if you are allergic to aspirin or salicylates. It should also be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you are on medication.
