Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 to that can you tell me what cleavers is please. Thanks Alice H. ~ Owner, Formulator MooseCreekBathandBody.com ^-^-^-@@-^-^-^ (..)-- ||---|| ^^ **Cleavers looks like Sweet Woodruff and they are closely related. It also goes by the name 'Farmer's Friends' as the stuff sticks and sticks and sticks. You can also boil it up fresh with water and use it for a deodorant water. Apparently it leaves a coating on the skin like antiperspirant does. Huntingpenny www.earthsgoddess.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hi all Its also called stickum and goosegrass. It grows with what looks like square stems, and all the leaves etc. come out at the same branch, like a halo. It also has tiny white flowers, and it sticks to everything. It will work to clear the lymphatic system, but it has to be taken internally to be of any real use.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hi Alice....Cleavers is an herb. Has been used in folk medicine for centuries. Blood purifier,used as a cleansing tonic, for glandular fever, tonsillites, cystitis, even prostate problems. A compress with an infusion can be used for burns, grazes, ulcers and skin inflammations. Best used fresh. The leaves can also be eaten as a vegetable - like spinach ! Hope this helps. Hugs and blessings, . Re: What is Cleavers? > to that can you tell me what cleavers is please.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Yes, my daughter makes a tincture of cleavers and swears by this for cold symptoms. Not to get too far off topic...
