Cleavers

Cleavers is a traditional cleansing herb best known for supporting the lymphatic system, helping the body flush out waste and toxins. By stimulating lymphatic drainage, it may reduce swelling, ease water retention, and support the body’s natural detox processes. Cleavers also acts as a gentle diuretic, promoting healthy kidney and bladder function, and is often used to ease urinary tract irritation or infections.

Its anti-inflammatory and cooling properties make it helpful for soothing skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and minor wounds. Cleavers is also rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and support overall immune health. Additionally, some traditional uses include easing swollen glands, supporting healthy circulation, and promoting clear, vibrant skin.

⚠️ Note: Cleavers is generally safe, but as a diuretic it may increase urination. Those with kidney issues, or on diuretic or blood-thinning medications, should consult a healthcare professional before use.
