🌿Traditional Uses

Meadowsweet has a long-established place in European herbal tradition, where the flowering tops have been particularly valued for pain, inflammation, fever and elimination.

Its traditional applications are strongly associated with joint and muscular discomfort, including rheumatic and arthritic complaints. Meadowsweet has also been used traditionally for headaches and migraines and during feverish states accompanied by general physical discomfort.

The plant is also known for its diuretic properties and has traditionally been used to encourage the body's natural elimination of water. This makes it particularly relevant when temporary water retention or a feeling of heaviness is present.

Meadowsweet also has a traditional digestive application, particularly where digestive discomfort is accompanied by spasms or cramping.

• Analgesic - Pain killer, reduces pain
• Anti-inflammatory - reduces inflammation and swelling
• Antispasmodic - prevents or relieves spasms
• Astringent - tightens the tissues, reduces fluid loss
• Diuretic - helps to increase the production of urine

For daily joint and muscle comfort:
Dilute 1 tablespoon in a glass of water and drink, 3 times daily.

The hydrosol may be used on its own or alternated with other hydrosols traditionally associated with joint and mobility support.

For the skin:
Mist directly onto clean skin or apply with a reusable cotton pad as a refreshing and toning botanical water.

External wellness ritual:
Mist onto areas such as the legs, arms, shoulders or other areas where a cooling botanical ritual is desired.

100% Organic Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) Hydrosol.

Made from fresh flowering tops of organically grown Filipendula ulmaria harvested in Occitanie, France.

The fresh plant material is distilled in Essenciagua's own distillery, allowing close control from locally sourced botanical material through to the finished hydrosol.

Meadowsweet has been part of European plant culture for centuries. It grows naturally in damp meadows, along riverbanks and in other moist places, producing clouds of creamy-white flowers with a distinctive sweet fragrance during summer.

The plant was once botanically known as Spiraea ulmaria, a name that later became connected to one of the best-known medicines in modern history.

Meadowsweet naturally contains salicylate compounds. When the name Aspirin was created at the end of the 19th century, the "spir" in Aspirin was derived from Spiraea, the former botanical genus to which meadowsweet belonged.

Long before this connection with modern pharmacy, however, meadowsweet was already a familiar European plant. Its fragrant flowering tops were gathered during summer and valued not only in traditional herbal preparations but also for their distinctive sweet aroma.

Today the accepted botanical name is Filipendula ulmaria, but its former name remains an intriguing link between Europe's traditional botanical knowledge and the later development of plant-derived medicines.

Conserva il tuo idrolato in frigorifero.

Essenciagua dà priorità alla sostenibilità del packaging utilizzando bottiglie in PET riciclabile, prive di ftalati e bisfenoli.

I tappi di sicurezza, non svitabili, garantiscono che gli idrolati restino sigillati e perfettamente conservati fino al momento dell’uso.

Durata di Conservazione di un Idrosol Aperto (Refrigerato)

• Durata Tipica: Una volta aperto e conservato in frigorifero, un idrosol generalmente si conserva bene per 6 a 12 mesi. Alcuni idrosol delicati possono iniziare a perdere freschezza prima, mentre quelli più stabili (come Rosa o Lavanda) spesso durano più a lungo.
  
• Condizioni di Conservazione: Conservare sempre in frigorifero, ben chiuso, lontano da luce e calore. Evitare di toccare l'interno del tappo o l'apertura della bottiglia per prevenire contaminazioni.
  

Come Capire se è Andato a Male

• Test Olfattivo: Un idrosol fresco dovrebbe avere un aroma vegetale pulito e piacevole.
  
• Segni di Alterazione:
  
  - L'aroma scompare o cambia in acido, acetoso o ammuffito.
  
  - Torbidità, sedimenti o crescita visibile (muffa/batteri).
  
  - Una consistenza appiccicosa sulla superficie o all'interno del tappo.
  
  

Consiglio Pratico

Anche se l'idrosol è tecnicamente entro il periodo di conservazione sicuro, fidati dei tuoi sensi: se ha un odore o un aspetto "strano", è meglio non usarlo sulla pelle o internamente. Può talvolta essere utilizzato per pulizie domestiche se l'odore è solo leggermente alterato, ma non per uso terapeutico o cosmetico.
