Cleavers has been used to treat
urinary infections in cats(FLUTD)
Herbalists have long regarded cleavers as a valuable lymphatic tonic and diuretic. In essence the lymph system is the body's mechanism to wash tissues of toxins, passing them back into the bloodstream to be cleansed by the liver and kidneys. This cleansing action makes cleavers useful in treating conditions like psoriasis and arthritis, which benefit from purifying the blood. Externally, a tea made from cleavers can be used as a skin wash to improve the complexion and treat skin disorders, and treat cuts and scrapes. The tea can also be put to good use as a hair rinse to fight dandruff.
Cleavers is a coffee relative, and its seed if roasted are used as a coffee substitute, and the young leaves can be eaten like spinach.

Cleavers is used to increase circulation of lymph in impaired areas of the body. This action along with its mild astringency make it useful to speed healing of gastric ulcers, drainage of lymph engorged cysts, tumors and inflamed urinary tract, and upper digestive tract. In cats, these actions make cleavers a safe long-term aid in the treatment of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), and the herb may also be useful for chronic low-grade kidney inflammation.

 It is under the dominion of the Moon. The juice of the herb and the seed together taken in wine, helpth those bitten with an adder, by preserving the heart from the venom. It is familarly taken in broth, to keep them lean and lank that are apt to grow fat. Nicholas Culpeper | |
