About the Product
One of the three herbs held most sacred by the Druids, meadowsweet played an important part in the development of the drug aspirin. In 1839 salicylic acid was first isolated from the flowerbuds and became an important drug in the 19th century. Unfortunately, unlike the herb, salicylic acid caused so muich gastric discomfort that the pain was preferable to the cure. Acetylsalicylic acid was developed to overcome this problem and named aspirin, from the combination of 'a' for acetyl and 'spirin' from 'Spirae', the generic name of the plant at that time.
