• Cleavers (Galium aparine), also known as Clivers, is a traditional Western herbal medicine best known for its longstanding use as a lymphatic herb. Herbalists have traditionally used Cleavers where lymphatic flow appears sluggish, particularly when accompanied by swollen glands, puffiness, fluid retention or skin that is slow to clear.

  The lymphatic system collects excess fluid and waste from the tissues before returning it to the circulation for processing and elimination. Unlike the bloodstream, however, the lymphatic system does not have a central pump. Cleavers has traditionally been used to encourage the movement of lymph and tissue fluid, making it one of the herbs herbalists commonly turn to when there are signs of lymphatic congestion.

  Cleavers also has a traditional affinity for the kidneys and urinary system. Its mild diuretic action encourages urine production, helping the body move excess fluid through the kidneys. This relationship between lymphatic drainage and urinary elimination is one reason Cleavers has historically been included in herbal formulas where fluid feels stagnant or swollen tissues are present.

  The herb also has a long history of use for the skin, particularly where recurring skin problems were traditionally associated with poor lymphatic drainage or inefficient waste removal. Rather than acting directly on the skin alone, Cleavers was commonly used as part of a broader herbal approach supporting the movement of fluid and waste away from the tissues.

  Energetic qualities: In Western herbal tradition, Cleavers is generally considered cooling and mildly moistening. These qualities help explain its traditional use where tissues feel hot, irritated, swollen or congested.

  NatroVital Cleavers delivers this traditional lymphatic herb as a concentrated, alcohol-free liquid extract. Using organically grown Cleavers, vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, it provides a clean way to take Cleavers without alcohol, artificial ingredients or unnecessary additives.

  How NatroVital Cleavers is Made

  We begin with organically grown Cleavers aerial parts and use an alcohol extraction process to draw out the herb's naturally occurring plant compounds, including iridoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and other constituents found throughout the leaves and stems.

  Once extraction is complete, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures. The concentrated herbal extract is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, producing an alcohol-free liquid extract without the need for artificial preservatives or other unnecessary additives.

  Cleavers has been used by Western herbalists for generations when they wanted to support lymphatic drainage, tissue-fluid movement and urinary elimination. Its particular affinity for the lymphatic system is what gives this otherwise modest-looking herb such an important place in traditional herbal medicine.

  Unlike capsules and powders containing bulk dried plant material, our liquid extracts contain the compounds drawn from the herb during extraction. This provides a concentrated form without synthetic binders, coatings, fillers or bulking agents.

  Locally Made with Integrity: Every bottle of NatroVital Cleavers is made here in Australia in small batches. As a small, independently owned business, we produce our extracts ourselves so we can maintain control over the herbs, extraction process and ingredients used in the finished product.

  Read our Frequently Asked Questions for dosage information, traditional uses, common combinations and other questions about Cleavers.

• ◄What is the recommended dosage for NatroVital Cleavers?

  The daily adult dose is 5 mL, divided into two serves of 2.5 mL — one in the morning and one in the evening. One mL is approximately 20 drops. Add each dose to a small glass of water or juice, drink immediately, and swirl the glass to ensure any remaining liquid is also consumed. Dosages may vary depending on individual needs and practitioner guidance.

  ▼What We Often Combine with NatroVital Cleavers in Clinic

  Cleavers can be used on its own or combined with other NatroVital herbs and formulas depending on what is being supported:

  • For swollen glands, skin problems and broader lymphatic support: Blood Cleanse combines Cleavers with Calendula, Burdock, Chickweed, Nettle, Red Clover and other herbs traditionally used to support healthy lymphatic drainage and the skin.
  • For fluid retention and urinary or kidney support: Kidney Support may be combined with Cleavers when poor fluid clearance, puffiness or urinary support is also a concern.
  • For more pronounced lymph gland swelling: Calendula is another traditional lymphatic herb and may be combined with Cleavers where swollen or congested lymph glands are a prominent feature.

  The most appropriate combination depends on why Cleavers is being used and which other body systems may also need support.

  ◄Are Cleavers and Clivers the same herb?

  Yes. Cleavers and Clivers are two common names for the same herb, Galium aparine. It is also known as Goosegrass, Catchweed and Bedstraw. The name Cleavers comes from the tiny hooked hairs covering the stems and leaves, which allow the plant to cling to clothing, animal fur and surrounding vegetation.

  ◄Are there any contraindications for using NatroVital Cleavers?

  Cleavers (Galium aparine) is generally considered a well-tolerated herb when used at normal herbal dosages. There are, however, a few situations where additional care may be appropriate.

  Diuretic medications: Cleavers has traditionally been used as a mild diuretic and may increase urinary fluid elimination. Care should therefore be taken when it is used alongside prescription diuretics.

  Kidney or urinary conditions: Because Cleavers influences urinary elimination, people with significant kidney disease or conditions requiring careful control of fluid balance should seek individual advice before using concentrated doses.

  Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is insufficient reliable safety information regarding therapeutic doses of Cleavers during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so individual practitioner guidance is recommended.

  Allergy: Avoid Cleavers if you have a known allergy to Galium aparine or other plants in the Rubiaceae family.
