Meadowsweet Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), the queen of the meadow, is a tall perennial of the rose family, Rosaceae, native to damp meadows, ditches and riverbanks across Europe and western Asia and naturalized in North America. It grows 1-2 m tall with reddish stems, pinnate leaves that are dark green above and downy white beneath, and frothy, creamy-white plumes of tiny flowers in summer. The flowers smell strongly of almond and honey, while the crushed leaves have a sharper, wintergreen-like scent. We extract the dried flower and the dried leaf separately.
