Meadowsweet

Meadowsweet is a herb that grows in meadows, at the edges of ponds, on riverbanks and in woodlands. It produces fragrant clusters of small, creamy-white or pale pink flowers.

Meadowsweet’s stems, leaves and flowers have a long history of being used to treat the skin. It contains salicylic acid, which is the base for aspirin and is also used to exfoliate the skin and treat acne.
