Cleavers
Cleavers :
Perhaps the best tonic to the lymphatic system available. Cleavers may be used safely in a wide range of problems where the lymphatic system is involved. These include swollen glands (lymphadenitis) anywhere in the body, especially in tonsillitis and adenoid trouble. Used to treat skin conditions, especially the dry skin such as psoriasis. Used in the treatment of cystitis and other urinary conditions where there is pain. Effective in the treatment of ulcers and tumors. This may have its basis in the lymphatic drainage, which helps detoxify tissue. For the lymphatic system, combine this herb with Echinacea or Calendula. For skin conditions, combine Cleavers with Burdock and Yellow Dock. For diuretic purposes, Cleavers is often used with Bearberry and/or Buchu
