Mechanistic basis
This use is associated with the plant's diuretic action. Further evidence for that pharmacology:
This work rapidly profiled the salicylic-acid derivatives and flavonol glycosides of Filipendula ulmaria (meadowsweet), the constituents associated with its antirheumatic and diuretic properties.
This study examined gut-microbial metabolism of Filipendula ulmaria extracts, a traditional remedy for urinary tract disorders, characterising the metabolites underlying the diuretic urinary use of meadowsweet.
