Organic Cleavers (Galium Aparine)

Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a traditional herb known for its cooling, cleansing and lymph-supporting qualities. Used for centuries in Ayurveda and western herbalism, this plant has gained a reputation for improving lymphatic circulation, supporting detoxification and easing inflammatory conditions linked to toxin buildup in the body. Organic Cleavers is naturally rich in active compounds that help the body eliminate waste gently and effectively, making it a reliable choice during seasonal detox routines or times of sluggish lymphatic function.

One of the main benefits of Cleavers is its role as a lymphatic tonic. It supports the natural drainage of the lymphatic system, which helps clear accumulated toxins and reduces swelling. Herbalists often recommend Cleavers for conditions such as edema, tonsillitis and eczema, where stagnant fluids or toxin buildup play a role. Its cooling nature helps calm irritation and reduce puffiness, making it useful both internally and externally for skin health.

Cleavers is also valued for its mild laxative and diuretic properties. It encourages the body to flush out waste through urine and bowel movements without causing harsh discomfort. This makes it a gentle herb for internal cleansing, often referred to as a natural “spring cleaning” remedy. Traditionally, it has been used to clean urinary gravel and stones, reduce urinary tract inflammation and support overall kidney and bladder function.

The plant itself is easy to identify. Most parts of Cleavers are covered in tiny hairs and prickles, helping it cling to clothing and animal fur. Its square stems, delicate white flowers and whorls of narrow leaves give it a unique appearance. Despite its simplicity, it carries a long history of strong medicinal use. Some studies suggest that Cleavers may help lower blood pressure without affecting heart rate. It has also been used for glandular conditions such as enlarged lymph nodes, cystic growths, nodular goitre and inflammatory skin disorders including psoriasis.

Herbalists classify Cleavers as a choleretic, stomachic, diuretic, refrigerant, antiscorbutic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and overall detoxifier. These properties allow it to support digestion, reduce internal heat, encourage bile flow and soothe irritated tissues. It is frequently included in cleansing blends for malignant or chronic conditions, where slow detoxification and lymphatic movement are essential.

Our Organic Cleavers is supplied in dry cut and sifted form or as a fine powder. Both options are easy to use in herbal teas, infusions or capsules. With no known harmful side effects and a long tradition of safe use, Cleavers remains one of the most trusted herbs for supporting the lymphatic system, urinary health and overall detoxification.
