Cleavers

Cleavers- enhances the function of the lymphatic system and improves its ability to flush out toxins, decrease congestion and reduce swelling.

Cleavers stimulate lymphatic drainage, which means ingesting cleavers may help your body flush excess fluids and toxins. This is particularly important in the spring, as we tend to carry a heavier load of toxins after the winter months. Cleavers also have diuretic properties, which means it helps to increase urine production and promote the elimination of excess fluids from the body (and helps us flush all of those toxins that built-up over winter).

Cleavers' anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties make it great for improving skin health, reducing inflammation, and preventing infection. Cleavers are also immune-boosting and have diuretic properties, which makes it an excellent herb for supporting urinary tract health.

Cleavers are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and B6, potassium, and calcium. These nutrients can help to support overall health and well-being, which may be particularly important in the spring as the body adjusts to changes in the environment and activity level.

Energetically, cleavers offer support with emotional spring cleaning, as well. In some spiritual traditions, cleavers are used to help to clear negative energy and promote emotional balance.
