Filipendula ulmaria / Meadowsweet flowering tops. Has been traditionally used as a strewing herb “Queene Elizabeth of famous memory did more desire it than any other herbe to strew her chambers withall” wrote John Parkinson in the 17th century. This use is supported by Gerard “The leaves and flowers of meadowsweet farre excelle all other strowing herbs for to decke up houses….the smell thereof makes the heart merrie and joyful and delighteth the senses.” Meadowsweet is reputed to be one of the 3 most sacred Druid herbs, the other two being Vervain, and Mint. It has been used as a remedy for the stomach.
