Gentle, Natural Relief for Sore Horses. Meadowsweet is a time‑honored herb known for supporting comfort in horses with arthritis and sensitive stomachs. Traditionally used to ease inflammation and discomfort, it offers pain relief without the gastric upset often associated with long‑term NSAID use. Because Meadowsweet is a whole herb, its natural compounds work together to support joint comfort while also soothing the stomach lining. An excellent choice for senior horses or those with a history of gastric irritation, Meadowsweet provides effective, plant‑based support you can feel good about.

  • Provides natural pain relief without the gastric side effects commonly associated with prescription NSAIDs
  • Helps reduce inflammation, making it useful for horses with arthritis
  • Supports gastric health and may help soothe gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining)
  • Contains aspirin‑like compounds, but as a whole herb does not cause the digestive upset typically linked to aspirin or salicylates alone
  • Especially helpful for older horses with long‑term joint pain and a history of NSAID use
  • May help decrease excess mucus, supporting digestive comfort

Meadowsweet

Useful for equine pain from arthritis and gastric issues

Meadowsweet leaves and flowers are known to contain natural pain-relieving compounds without the side effects of gastric upset that prescription medications can cause. Meadowsweet may decrease inflammation and mucus.

Meadowsweet can be helpful for the older horse who suffers from arthritis and may also have gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) from years of being given Bute or NSAIDs. While it may at first seem contradictory to give a horse an herb with aspirin-like effects or qualities (aspirin and its salicylates have been well-documented as a cause of stomach upset), the historic use of Meadowsweet confirms that it is an effective anti-inflammatory and pain reliever without causing the wide range of digestive problems associated with aspirin. Meadowsweet is a whole herb, not just salicylates, and the sum of its “active” ingredients work in concert with each other.

Meadowsweet can be given to horses in several forms – as the cut and sifted herb, a powder, or made into a tea and added to feed. It can also be given as an extract.  For a tea, place ¼ cup of the cut and sifted herb in a mason jar, steep 3 minutes.

 If your horse is on other pain medication, please check with your veterinarian.

Feed approx 1/8 cup 1-2X per day
