HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meadowsweet 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.

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) as a dried flower liquid extract. The extract is prepared using a menstruum — the liquid base used in herbal extraction — as its only other ingredient.

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 we hold for meadowsweet doesn't establish that it works reliably for the conditions it's commonly used for. For headache and respiratory tract infections — both key uses — the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness either way.

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, but it contains salicylates, and human safety data are limited. Large doses can cause nausea and stomach upset.

Because meadowsweet contains salicylate compounds, there's a theoretical risk it could cause the side effects tied to salicylates — stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) — though we don't have reliable data on whether these would actually occur at typical supplement doses. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety information is not adequate.

The data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding until more is known.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Meadowsweet.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 39 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist before taking meadowsweet if you use any salicylate-containing pain relievers or anti-inflammatories — especially aspirin, choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate), or salsalate (Disalcid). The interaction is rated Moderate for all three.

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 may appeal to you if you're exploring herbal approaches to headache or respiratory symptoms, but the evidence we hold doesn't yet establish it works for either. More importantly, if you take salicylate pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, you'll want to talk with your pharmacist before adding this product — the combination could raise your salicylate exposure.

Pregnant and nursing parents should avoid it.

Meadowsweet by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Meadowsweet by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meadowsweet 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 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.
Does meadowsweet actually work for headaches?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to say whether it does or doesn't. It's a traditional use, but we don't have solid proof of effectiveness yet.
Is meadowsweet safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data aren't adequate. The information we have advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
What side effects can meadowsweet cause?
Large doses can cause nausea and stomach complaints. Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of stomach irritation, vomiting, and ringing in the ears — though we don't have reliable data on whether these occur at typical supplement doses.
What is salicin, and why is it a concern in meadowsweet?
Salicin is a plant compound in the salicylate family found naturally in meadowsweet. If you take salicylate pain relievers like aspirin, combining them with meadowsweet could add up to too much salicylate exposure, which could increase side effects.
