Meadowsweet can soothe the stomach lining, reduce acidity, and treat heartburn, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. Meadowsweet contains salicylic acid, which can help with inflammation. Meadowsweet can help with arthritis, degenerative joint disorders, gout, colds and bronchitis. Meadowsweet can increase urine output and kill germs in the urine. Meadowsweet is possibly safe when used short-term, but taking it in large amounts or for a long time could be unsafe. This is because meadowsweet contains salicylates, which are similar to aspirin.   ( Not scientifically proven)

How to use:

The basic method for dried herbs and flower is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup or teapot.  Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes.  Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals.  Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!

You can sweeten your herbal tea with a bit of honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaves powder and or licorice root powder.

You can make ice cubes or pops by freezing tea in ice trays or pop molds.

Precautions:

You should consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
