Historical and Traditional Uses

Meadowsweet has been cherished since ancient times, with records of its use dating back to the Druids, who held it sacred for its uplifting aroma and connection to love and divination, whilst in medieval Europe, it was often strewn on floors to create a pleasant atmosphere and drive away negative energy. It was also a key ingredient in early herbal blends and love potions, believed to bring harmony to relationships and attract kindred spirits.

This herb is strongly linked to the water element, therefore ideal for emotional healing, intuition, and enhancing psychic abilities and in Celtic traditions, it was one of the three most revered herbs alongside mint and vervain, thought to bestow protection, love, and blessings.
