Cleanse your blood and calm your skin with Cleavers! Native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, Bedstraw was traditionally used for internal cleansing – either brewed as a tea or eaten fresh in salads. Commonly called “cleavers” due to its sticky hairs that cling to clothes and fur, is also prized for skin care, used in poultices for eczema, psoriasis, acne, wounds, burns, and swelling thanks to its natural detoxifying and soothing properties.
♡ Why we love it: Cleavers are brimming with active compounds including iridoid glycosides, phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, and coumarins. These work together to promote healthy lymph flow, helping the body clear waste and toxins, encourage fluid elimination, reduce water retention, and boost urinary tract health. Whether taken internally or used in skincare, Cleavers shine as a natural anti-inflammatory - helping to calm irritation, soothe the skin, and gently support your body’s detox pathways.
