Supports lymphatic & urinary tract health; traditionally used for swollen lymph nodes of the head and neck and historically for cancers, particularly of the oral cavity and neck.*
Summary: Cleavers is a diuretic herb, the "Lasix" (furosemide) of the nineteenth century, used to assist ailing hearts by encouraging urination to reduce the volume of blood to relieve congestive heart failure. Herbalists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries reported that it dissolved kidney stones; however, neither cleavers nor any other diuretic should be used during an acute attack. Cleavers were also used in washes and cosmetics to remove freckles as well as for skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. One of Rebecca's very favorite herbalists, Matthew Wood, writes (in his book Herbal Wisdom - Using Plants as Medicine) of cleavers' traditional use for cleansing the lymphatic system and easing lymph node swelling, particularly with regard to congestion in the head and neck.
Precautions: None.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
