Traditional uses of Meadowsweet include treatment of gastrointestinal conditions associated with flatulence and acid stomach including indigestion, gastric reflux, gastric ulceration and halitosis (bad breath). It is mildly astringent and is said to be useful for diarrhoea, particularly in children.
A number of studies have demonstrated the ability of Meadowsweet preparations to have protective effect on the stomach, including against lesions induced by aspirin use. As such, Meadowsweet can be useful for treating peptic ulcers and acid stomach.
