Known as Queen of the Meadow, Bridewort and Meadwort, meadowsweet is an Old World member of the rose family renowned for its highly fragrant flower clusters.
For centuries, the flowers have been woven into bridal garlands and to flavor vinegars, beer and a honey wine called mead. The flowers and leaves were a popular strewing material cast upon the floor to mask unpleasant odors associated with poor sanitation. Reputedly, Queen Elizabeth fancied meadowsweet to scent her private chambers.
In the late 1800s, a German chemist synthesized
acetylsalicylic acid from the herb, which was later marketed by his employer,
Bayer AG, under the name "as pirin.” Today, meadowsweet is used in tea blends and
to prepare topical ointments and salves.
