"Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is a sweet-smelling astringent herb that is commonly used for excessive diarrhea, ulcers, pain, stomach aches, fevers and gout. 

Meadowsweet for Pain

Meadowsweet is high in salicylic acid, which is well known for its ability to relieve pain. I find the plant to be a mild to moderate pain reliever that is especially suited to stagnant pain (in a fixed location, possibly with a pounding sensation) and for those with symptoms of heat.

Headaches

Meadowsweet is especially suited to headaches in which the person has a hot head and feels a pounding sensation in the head. Meadowsweet is cooling and it promotes circulation, which can relieve stagnant energy in the head.

Rheumatism

Besides having the ability to relieve pain, meadowsweet is also anti-inflammatory in nature. Taken daily as a tea or tincture it can help relieve chronic arthritic pain and inflammation.

Stomachaches and Acid Reflux

Meadowsweet shines as an herb for stomach aches, nausea and poor digestion and is especially helpful for those who find herbs like ginger to be too warming. Meadowsweet removes stagnation (like when you eat a meal, and it stays in your stomach too long) and relieves discomfort in the stomach."
