- The cleavers plant gives us so many benefits! It’s a weed you can eat plus make excellent medicine with. One of my favorite things about cleavers is that this plant gives us medicine you can’t find the equivalent of at a drugstore. What drug provides minerals while also moving lymph!? (And that’s just one of its many gifts!)
In this episode, I’ll also be showing you a favorite simple recipe for cleavers juice (or succus). It’s nutrient-dense, with a fresh, green flavor. You can sip it straight or blend it into other juices or smoothies. It can also be frozen or preserved, so even in winter, you’ll have it handy to soothe a sore throat or get a boost of extra vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. There are so many tasty and beneficial ways to enjoy it! This is one you won’t want to miss.
After watching this video, you’ll know:
► When cleavers is good to eat (and when to avoid eating it)

When I had lymphoma in 2013 I found out about Cleavers. I feel it made a difference in my quick recovery. It literally was trying to get in my front door when I did the research and decided to tincture it. It definitely helped with my kidney issues caused by chemo. It’s a good one!!
I love this! I have had similar experiences with plants that I needed "chasing me down" until I listened to them.
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing. I read it is also used for the nervous system, including for epilepsy. Will tincture it now as it grows all around my home
Ruth Goodman in the farm vids, shows the use of cleavers as a strainer. since they stick to each other, you can lay them down in a few layers to make a "cheese cloth"
Love learning these sorts of historical details!
I have seen deer use cleavers as bedstraw for their birthing beds, filtering out the birthing waters away from their newborn. Very Cleaver!
Oh wow, thank you for sharing!
Love the pun and the fun info!
I learned to use herbal medicines 2 years ago during the pandemic and now I would not use any other medicine. I love natural healing. Thank you for the info on cleaver plant.
This grows in my yard and I never knew what it was. I hate that it is so sticky. Thank you for teaching me to look at it differently.
Don't feel bad. Most people think it's just a weed like they see dandelions. One thing I admire of cleavers, is it actually 'helps' other top heavy plants stay upright. It helps my lilies and gladiolus stand tall. When I need to pull it, it doesn't choke out the plant it's on. (But they will take over and smush plants under them. Blocking light and such. They let go without harming the plant. And of course there's the amazing benefits of the plant being food and medicine! Its so cool. I have patches all over the yard. I drink cold infusion daily. Its neat because I know I could chew the plant and stop bleeding as well! Like burdock. Its just awesome! Lol 5:20
I live near Stonehenge in the UK, but am from the Boise Valley in Idaho. Used cleiver waters for the first time this spring for lumph gland swelling. So Impressed I plan to freeze a large quanity next spring.
I have been a very serious 'Hedge Row' Dyer meaning traditional plants with only alumn no other chemicals. I did a lot of serious research over years. Fortunately there had been an revial of all things natural in the 1970s the leaders putting out books by the early 1980's on natrual dyeing. They had spent years trying to locate old dyers to learn from and I learned from them. Before google many of us world wide shared dye info on 'distribution groups' talking dye and fiber.
Everyone seeks Red, and Grieve does indicate roots 'give' red. And I would never disagree with Grieve but she was not a dyer. My and others search for red even the madder family that does grow in England were not sucessful, you can get taupe almost pink with some tree catkins at best A famous rummor of Dandy Lion root 'giving' red, every one had heard of. Eventually I traced the very old story down tohaveing been from the far north and indeed just a rumor or possibly very unusual soil conditions. Dyers were notorious for keeping their color success private to pass to their daughters.
The Midlands England Lace Makers early 1800s, used dozens of long thin brass pins to hold the intricate lace being made on a pillow stuffed with barley straw. Clever 'goosegrass' seeds were used to make the pin head easier to push and pull out of the lace work as it grew. the incrediably thin tall lace pins were pushed through the seed to make a top nob. By sheer accident found the actual receipe. The seeds were 'boiled in vinegar in a brass thimble' to harden them. Sadly lace making was cruel exploted 'piece wk' for poor village women and girls in certian regions that become famous for certian types of lace. The traveling Lace brokers cheated them out of working all day for a few inches length if at all soiled etc. They provided the flax linen thread and paid highest for the hardest to make work...... took to the cities when it was a costly luxury. the fashion changed and familys went hungary who had depended on laces popularity for years. Lace making had a revial same time as did dyeing in the UK and all things with died flowers or pressed flowers and straw or rush work. The lace clubs and big Lace trade shows were popular until that age group no longer kept the hobby going and their family dumps their tools on ebay or charity (thirft) stores in tange led heaps. Very few have any interest these days but some are still producing stunning works of art rather tha fashion. I understand it is popular in Austrialia too. sorry not time to edit, deal with It xoxox
Thanks for the information. My family come from ba long line of lace makers in Nottingham. My Grandfather was the only child very Victorian)who had a daughter so that was the end of the family tradition. Sadly he died when I was 13 in 1977. I would have loved to have asked him about the family business and its history. I still have some large bolstered pillow cases with fantastic lacework on the openings. 😊
@@freespirit3818 my pleasure! Goodness I did run at the mouth! Just gather up the huge amount of history many have been keen to hunt up. You can tell the general story of your heritage. You know era and location. It was very regional. And how complicated when or even made by a primitive machine in homes. Sadly Sweat shop like.
I will share
I knew of a pic of my English GG sort of late 1880s graduation pic. One day I realised her best dress sleeves were tipped lined with a bit of lace. I actually reconized the type, it made me feel a little close. She followed her husband-to-be to at a crude log cabin in the rocky mts. Promptly died w her 6th baby. I went and made sure her grave was properly marked all by itself. Others had made sure before me.
Fabulous information thank you for sharing..I know that in the 1700.s my ancestors were lace makers
I juiced it with cucumbers and lemons; it's very tasty and refreshing !
Do you juice it even when it has it's hooks?
I've never stuck it to someone's clothing. But I'm going to now 😂🌱
Amazing video. Thank you!
Thanks for this video ❤

Love this book and use it often.
Much gratitude! Great video :) Amazing that clevers can assist with cancers! Wow! Thank you for sharing!
I've never heard of this plant. Thank you for the information, always enjoy learning from you.
Thanks for watching!
Lol
Sometimes I throw a piece on my Pomeranian to watch him fuss over it, BUT he's wise to me now and runs when he sees me pulling it!😂
Like trying to chase it around with a spray bottle of something that's good for them LOL
Just came across your videos a couple days ago and subscribed. I really enjoy your easy to understand videos. I am just learning about plants. Recently moved onto a 12 acre property and am eager to learn each plant. Will be ordering both your books soon. ❤️
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome!
I tried it young and it is yummy herby flavour
Sticky Bob's!! Who would have known? Great info
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
My auntie used to make little “corsages” for us.
Love it
I love cleavers. I’ve eaten them. I want to dehydrate, powder, and add to my green powder. I also want to make a tincture for use when I think lymph needs to be cleared out.
what all do you add in your mix for the powder? and how do you use the powder? I'm very excited to be learning about wild medicine
@@yvettetodea3916 I just dried the cleavers alone. I haven't powdered yet, but I might put in capsules, or just mix with my regular green powder which I regularly add to foods. I have tinctured it by itself. But I might mix up some tinctures and end up with a tonic mix of beneficial herbs to add to my coffee every day.
i didnt know anything about it until i watched the Farm vids! then i realized it was all over!
Wonderful Cleavers!🥰 It is Spring in Australia right now and Cleavers are an abundant blessing. I must ask though, is that a Cramp Bark behind you in the video? What a beautiful plant! Thank you again for a terrific video and for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏❤️
Happy spring! It is some kind of viburnum. It was here when I moved in and I haven't been able to positively ID it down to the species. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I just found you on RUclips and wow what a great video. I subscribed and going to dive in your other video's too. 💜
I'm new to growing, finding and drying herbs and I wish I found out years ago I love this so much. Last week I learned about a itty bitty little plant in my garden, last year I didn't have this one growing in my garden and It's a cleaver. Yesterday I walked in a little park nearby and what did I saw, cleaver all over. 😃 I took some home and going to dry it.
May I ask you a question via email and if that is a yes, what is your emailadress? 😊
Where can I find your book? I looked for it, but maybe I need new glasses. 😛
Can pick cleavers during July time
Thank you.
Do you have any videos on Wild Lettuce
Yes, there's an interview with Sajah about wild lettuce. You can do a search for specific herbs on my channel's home page.
I just found out one of my most hated sticky plants is one that I have bought at the herb store as an elixer.
I’ve been pulling cleaver’s from my garden and throwing them out 🫤, not anymore 🤷♀️
Aloe Vera is the best for burn, conduits
Is it good for dermatitis
I have ME/CFS and my glands are very often sore and stiff. I have turned to herbal remedies as conventional medicine is hopeless.
Find the cause.
Silly question but can i put the whole plant (not the root) including seeds into the tea?
Not a silly question, and yes you can!
Found cleaver today in our soil pile from last year. That pile of soil is full of plants. Yarrow, Silene Vulgaris and so much more. Trying to identify all the great plants.
Wonderful!
@HerbsWithRosalee made tea with it last night. Reminds me of a green tea. I just had it plain to try the flavour. Next time will add mint.
Hello Rosalee,
When is the best time of year to gather this herb? I live in Michigan its now almost June 1.
Hi there, you'll want to harvest the cleavers before or during the flowering stage and before it goes to seed. Once it goes to seed, let it do just that. Spring is the general answer, but your specific climate and growing conditions will dictate the exact time.
Cheers,
Karin Rose
Are any of these benefits of cleavers available later in the season or only spring foraged plants?
They are best when they are young and vibrant looking. In some climates, they spring back in the fall and look vibrant again.
I have made cleavers tincture. It grows in abundance here. Would this be helpful for internal inflammation? I suffer from chronic inflammation ever since I got Lyme disease 4 years ago? Joints, muscles, brain inflammation etc
I want to say yes, cleavers is wonderfully cooling. But chronic and systemic inflammation isn't likely to be solved with one plant. It's more of a whole body approach. I teach a two month course on chronic inflammation (it's not for sale now so not trying to sell you anything). The reason it's two months is because that's what I've found is the time necessary to unwind the inflammation process.
@@HerbsWithRosalee I have gas and bloating will your two month course help me. Can I use cleavers for my stomach inflammation?
I would also be interested in the two month course.
I have lymphedema, psoriasis and general aches and pains.
My sister has just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Look into teasel root, OSHA root & Artemisia annua or frigida...for lymes disease cure, blessings to you
@@naimajay9308Red Cabbage Juice.
1 cup before noon, 1 cup afternoon, for 7 days.
Reply back after completion.
Plzzz help!!! I went to gather a bunch this morning and hadn't realized ITS ALL DRIED OUT NOW!!!😭😭😭 CAN I STILL MAKE A SKIN BALM W THE DRIED HERB?!?!? Or anything else w it???
i’d like to know, too - surely we can use them when they are a little older? for what?
Does this help to remove toxins from the body ,blood and is it good for skin issues?
Yes, yes, yes. And therefore it needs to be taken (especially in the beginning) with caution build up gradually.
I wish I wouldve researched what I know now back when I found out I had thyroid cancer. 😖😒
Would it still be effective as a tincture or tea? If so, which is better in terms of getting the most benefit? I'm unable to find it fresh and can't grow my own
Fresh plant tincture would be my preference over the tea. This plant really shines when fresh and quickly loses its pizazz when dried.
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you so much
Sorry, I forgot to ask, is the tincture safe if I'm still sharing some milk with my two year old? If so what's a good starting point for dosage? I'm using it for lymphatic drainage from being sick. The nodes need a little help
Can I cut it and dry it out? I have so much of it! What's the best way to harvest and save it?
Hi, Rosalee describes preservation methods in the video (around the 11-minute mark or shortly after).
Cheers,
Karin Rose
So the lady's bedstraw root is the best for red dye use? Does anyone know? Where do you buy the cleavers galium aparine? I see the link above. Thanks.
if you take cleavers and stinging nails, blend them together, sift it through a cloth or something and drink it, it's a miracle drug for eczema and psoriasis
sir does it cure psoarisis
@@vsansanv29101_sd I don't know, I haven't tried but I've seen several comments on it helping. Psoriasis would take some time to be cured though
Nettles?
can i smoke it?
I don't know of cleavers being a smoking her specifically...
Like dandelion. A Weed.
Dandelion is a herb. Not a weed.
@@allisonleverton5510. But it is classed as a weed. It is a medicinal herb too.
