Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, primarily for digestive complaints. Historical records and folk medicine sources describe its application for soothing the stomach and relieving symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, and minor gastric discomfort. The plant contains salicylates, tannins, and flavonoids, which have mild anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. These constituents are thought to contribute to its traditional use as a remedy for gastrointestinal upset, including nausea and vomiting.

However, there is a lack of modern scientific research specifically evaluating the efficacy of meadowsweet for nausea and vomiting. Most available evidence is anecdotal or based on traditional herbal texts, and no robust clinical trials have been conducted to confirm its effectiveness for these particular symptoms. As a result, while its use for nausea is documented in herbal medicine traditions, there is minimal scientific validation to support its use for this purpose today. Therefore, the justification for using meadowsweet for nausea and vomiting is rooted in tradition rather than scientific evidence.
