About
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is a fragrant herb with creamy-white flower clusters, long valued in European herbal tradition. Our dried Meadowsweet herb is sourced from Bulgaria and supplied as dried aerial parts – light green leaf with white to cream flower fragments – with a mildly sweet, almond-and-honey aroma and a soft floral flavour.
Traditionally used in herbal teas and infusions, meadowsweet also works well in cordials, syrups and other kitchen infusions. It naturally contains salicylates, so it isn’t suitable for anyone with an aspirin or salicylate sensitivity, and anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication should check with a healthcare professional before use.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
