Lymphatic Drainage & Fluid Support Glycerite

Cleavers, also known as sticky weed or goosegrass, is a gentle yet effective lymphatic herb traditionally used to support fluid movement, skin health, and natural detoxification pathways.

This glycerite is crafted from the fresh aerial parts of Galium aparine, harvested and prepared in small batches to preserve the plant’s cooling, clearing qualities. Glycerites offer a mild, alcohol-free alternative that is suitable for those sensitive to tinctures, while still delivering therapeutic benefit.

Traditional Uses

Cleavers has a long history in Western herbal medicine as a:

• Lymphatic tonic – supporting healthy lymph flow and drainage

• Gentle diuretic – assisting fluid balance without harsh stimulation

• Skin-supportive herb – traditionally used for inflammatory or congestive skin conditions

• Seasonal cleansing ally – often included in spring or lymph-focused formulas

Energetically, cleavers is considered cooling and slightly drying, helping to move stagnation and support the body’s natural clearing systems.

How It Works

Cleavers is traditionally understood to support:

• Lymphatic circulation

• Mild urinary elimination

• Fluid balance in tissues

• Surface pathways including skin and mucous membranes

It is commonly blended with other lymphatic herbs such as calendula or red clover, but is also effective on its own as a gentle, supportive remedy.

How to Use

Typical dosage (adult):

• 1–3 mL, 2–3 times daily for general support

• Up to 2–5 mL, 2–3 times daily for lymph congestion

Take directly or dilute in a small amount of water.

Always start with the lower dose and adjust as needed.

Ingredients

Fresh cleavers (Galium aparine), vegetable glycerin, purified water.

Cautions

Cleavers is generally well tolerated. Use with care if:

• Fluid retention is related to heart or kidney conditions

• Taking strong diuretics or medications affected by fluid balance

• Pregnant or breastfeeding (use conservatively and seek guidance)

If unsure, consult a qualified herbalist or healthcare practitioner.
