Meadowsweet is often thought of as herbal aspirin. Even though it’s no secret that its compounds were originally used to formulate and synthesize aspirin, can you really use it in the same way?

If you want to get the same results from Meadowsweet as aspirin, you would have to drink quarts of the tea, which is tough to do because it’s incredibly bitter. Not only would you be feeling pretty nauseous by the end, but you would also only get the strength of a baby aspirin, if you’re lucky!

Even though Meadowsweet contains aspirin-like compounds, they are not the same. Meadowsweet is an herb used for centuries, and although it has many traditional uses, its applications are more relevant than ever in our modern day.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover:

• Meadowsweet’s bitter and astringent taste and why this combination is so good for treating ulcers

• How Meadowsweet alleviates heartburn, ulcers in the GI, joint pain, and more with its energetic and biochemical properties

• Why Meadowsweet is helpful for so many modern-day issues that didn’t use to exist

• Meadowsweet’s powerful connection with Saturn and how it balances other planetary influences
