Meadowsweet’s common name, “Bridewort,” derives from the custom of strewing the blossoms on the floors of churches for festivals and weddings and in bridal garlands. The name, “ulmaria” means “elmlike” and is derived from the leaves resembling those of elm trees.  Like slippery elm the plant contains salicylic acid, which has long been used as a pain killer. The whole plant has a pleasant taste and is used as a strewing herb, tossed on floors to give rooms a pleasant scent and used to flavor wine, beer, jams and many vinegars. Scandinavians use meadowsweet as a spice in certain varieties of mead.
