Description

May help as a pain reliever; may be used as a natural aspirin; Useful for painful urination; Useful for colic, respiratory problems, gout, arthritis, water retention, sore joints, reducing fever. Natural aspirin. This plant was studied by German chemists to derive its acetyl-salicylic-acid [the chemical compound we call aspirin today] for study so it could be produced cheaply and synthetically from coal tar. Then they did just that. They kept part of Meadowsweet’s Latin plant name, Spiraea ulmaria to create the drug name a- spirea -in or aspirin.

The problem is, as with any synthetic, there can be side effects which can harm the body. In this case, internal hemorrhage is one common result. It is estimated that cheap, readily available chemical aspirin causes several thousand deaths world wide each year. This does not count any of the possible harmful drug interactions with other medications. There are no accurate records kept. If there were, general concern alone would probably cause it to be withdrawn from the market.

With natural aspirin you don’t have to fear internal hemorrhage, as it has not been separated from its naturally occurring compounds, also found in the plant, which regulate its activity. For best results, take with two full glasses of water. Used to relieve pain and many other complaints such as: colic [abdominal gas pains], respiratory problems, gout, arthritis, water retention, rheumatism [sore joints], reducing fever, correcting painful urination.
