Internally, cleavers is useful in problems of the urinary tract, where it acts as a diuretic and an anti-inflammatory. It can be used as a tea in bladder infections and for painful urination. Cleavers has also been used for relief of water retention, such as premenstrual edema. It can be helpful in persons with a tendency to form kidney stones or gravel and, in this case, is best as a fresh-plant tincture, or as a juice, if a juicer is available.
Cleavers is also alterative and tonic, toning the body generally and altering metabolism toward a healthful balance. It has been used in chronic skin conditions, such as psoriasis, where it aids in elimination of toxins from the body. As an alterative, cleavers works on the lymphatic system, and it can be a useful adjunct in therapies for swollen lymph glands and any associated problems, such as tonsillitis or mononucleosis.
Externally, cleavers can be used as a wash or salve for burns or wounds. | | | | | | | |
