100% Certified organic Meadowsweet

Filipendula

In medieval times meadowsweet was a favorite strewing herb-Gerard wrote in his Herball (1597) that “the smell thereof make the heart merry and joyful and enlights the sense.” Salicylic acid isolated from the plant was first synthesized in 1860 and later used to develop aspirin. Now, meadowsweet is taken for gastric problems and inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
