Meadowsweet as a stomach ache cure
8 Answers
Has anyone tried the herbal remedy Meadowsweet [brand name Potter`s Acidosis] to cure horrendous IBS-like symptoms?
I ask because although I`ve only been taking it for a week the change in the condition has been unbelievable. I only hope it`s not coincidental.
All comments much appreciated.

As recommended by the other [better?] half.
the herbalist ..bicarbonate of soda is a figure of speech..the meadowsweet contains asprin like substance but not asprin itself.salicylates is an asprin like compound that reduces inflammation and relieves pain.....just for information meadowsweet was one of the sacred herbs of the druids...it is easy to grow and i would urge anyone with a garden to grow their own herbs as you get loads of seeds in packets..and you can dry the flowers and store in jars and make your own herb tea which will be a lot cheaper and fresher than the shops..just as a word of caution meadowsweet is not normally prescribed to people that are hypersensitive to asprin as allthough it isnt asprin the compounds are very similar,,,people that cant use asprin should use slippery elm products as thats safe.for them..best of luck everyone ,,,gypsy
as an after thought go to the herb society uk as they have a forum on herbs and uses it is really interesting ...if anyone wishes to buy herbs allready grown really cheap go to barwinnock herbs,,i have used them and they are great..fast delivery and the herbs are ready for planting...they cost approx �1.50p a plant.. gypsy
