A Herbal Profile – Meadowsweet

In herbalist parlance the actions of Filipendulaare; stomachic, antacid, anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory and even anti-rheumatic. In normal jargon, this means it is a very capable remedy for reducing acidity and inflammation, easing nausea and soothing the mucous membranes of the whole digestive tract.

Meadowsweet is especially useful in treating heartburn, gastritis, peptic ulceration, as well as reducing fever and the pain of inflammatory joint disease.

Infuse the dried herb in boiling water for ten minutes, strain and drink while warm. This is a slightly sweet tasting herb (itʼs true!) and should be a part of everyoneʼs at-home herbal tea chest.
