Cleavers Herb, Cut & Sifted 1 lb

100% organic cleavers herb (Galium aparine), carefully cut and sifted for whole-plant herbal preparations. Cleavers offers a mild, fresh, green, and slightly grassy aroma with soft vegetal undertones and a clean, soothing botanical finish. Its light nature makes it easy to incorporate into infusions, tinctures, and seasonal wellness formulations.

🌿 Traditional medicinal usage

Cleavers has been used for centuries across global herbal medicine systems, especially for cleansing and lymphatic support:

• Traditional European and Western herbalism: brewed as a lymphatic-moving spring tonic to support internal cleansing, clear stagnation, soothe skin irritation, and promote urinary tract comfort.

• Indigenous and folk herbal traditions: used to support lymphatic drainage, fluid balance, detox pathways, and skin soothing, often applied topically in washes or consumed in infusions.

• TCM-adjacent Eastern herbal practices: valued for supporting heat clearing, gentle detoxification, and circulation of the body’s natural purification energy, commonly used in long-steeped green tonics.

• Historical apothecaries: prepared fresh or dried into cleansing infusions, lymphatic formulas, skin compresses, and detox broths, especially during seasonal transitions, periods of swelling, or when supporting clear skin and fluid balance.

Cleavers has long been appreciated as a cleansing, cooling, nutritive herb, traditionally used to help the body move unwanted buildup through lymph and fluid pathways.
