Cleavers

Gentle Spring Botanical Infusion

Sometimes the plants that cling are the ones that teach us how to let go.

Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a familiar wild herb known for its long, climbing stems that seem to grab onto everything they touch.

Traditionally associated with springtime herbalism, cleansing traditions, lymphatic support, and healthy fluid balance, Cleavers makes a light, earthy botanical addition to the herbal cabinet.

A weed to some. A botanical ally to others.

About Cleavers

Cleavers is an annual herb recognized by its sprawling stems, narrow leaves arranged in whorls, tiny flowers, and little hooked hairs that allow the plant to cling to clothing, animals, and neighboring plants.

Its persistent, wandering growth has earned it plenty of folk names, including stickyweed, bedstraw, and catchweed.

Cleavers has a long history within European folk herbalism, particularly in seasonal spring preparations.

Brewing Ritual

Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes.

Strain well and enjoy warm or iced.
