HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Meadowsweet Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient product: meadowsweet flower extract in dry form. The liquid preparation also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

Meadowsweet has a long history in herbal use, and this formula removes the alcohol that some extracts contain.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Meadowsweet product and its label doesn't state a use — see Meadowsweet's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for meadowsweet isn't established in our data. We hold ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for headache and respiratory tract infections—the two uses on record—which means the studies aren't solid enough yet to say whether it works for those purposes.

If you're considering it for either of those reasons, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Meadowsweet

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Meadowsweet is generally used in food-like amounts and is generally well tolerated, but human safety data are limited. At larger doses, it can cause nausea and stomach complaints.

Because it contains salicylates, there's theoretical risk of side effects like stomach irritation, nausea, and vomiting, though we don't have reliable data on whether those occur at typical supplement doses. During pregnancy, the safety data advise against meadowsweet use.

During breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Meadowsweet.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meadowsweet Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 39 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Meadowsweet Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No, the safety data advise against meadowsweet during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using any meadowsweet product.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. Chat with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you and your baby.
Does meadowsweet actually work for headaches or colds?
The evidence isn't solid enough to say. We have insufficient reliable data on meadowsweet for headache or respiratory infections, so we can't confirm it works for those uses.
What's the main concern if I take aspirin?
Meadowsweet contains salicin, a plant compound related to aspirin. Taking both together could theoretically have an additive effect, which is why we flag it as a Moderate concern. Check with your pharmacist before combining them.
Why is it alcohol-free?
Some herbal extracts use alcohol as a preservative and delivery method. This version uses glycerin and water instead, which some people prefer to avoid alcohol.
What side effects might I have?
At larger doses, meadowsweet can cause nausea and stomach upset. Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of stomach irritation and other salicylate-related side effects, though we don't have solid data on whether those happen at normal supplement doses.
