Nature's Sunshine Meadowsweet Capsules 340mg Qty 100

Frank Roberts, the reknown English Herbalist, refers to Meadowsweet as being "the true normaliser of a badly functioning stomach" particularly when associated with gastric secretions. Meadowsweet combines well with Slippery Elm Bulk in treating digestive disorders and when combined with Anti-Inflam, can assist in the temporary relief of arthritic pain. Part of the herb used is the Whole Herb.

The primary use of Meadowsweet has been in conditions of the stomach. It has traditionally been used for symptoms of the gastrointestinal system, such as flatulence and some cases of indigestion. It has been found to help in normalising secretions of the stomach.

It is interesting to note that Meadowsweet played a role in the development of aspirin many years ago. The component ‘salicylic acid’ was isolated from the flowerbuds, and it was this that was later synthesised and became an important drug in the 19 th century. This has since been modified to become the aspirin that we know today.

In addition to the gastrointestinal tract this herb can also be of assistance in helping to relieve the joint pain as well as to relieve burning and frequency that may occur in the urinary tract.
