Health Benefits
Cleavers are one of numerous plants considered in ancient times to act as a diuretic. It was therefore used to relieve edema and to promote urine formation during bladder infections. It has also been used by people with lymph swellings, jaundice, and wounds. Cleavers can be used in its fresh or dried form, using hot or cold water. Traditionally, herbalists suggest steeping a handful of chopped fresh cleavers overnight and then drinking it throughout the next day. You could also blend cleavers with water and berries to make a refreshing drink.
Spiritual Benefits
Because the plant tends to bind together due to tiny little hooks located on the plant's stem and leaves, cleavers are commonly used in binding spells and matters of commitment. Use cleavers in spells or mojo bags that deal with commitment issues, rocky relationships, and love.
