Cleavers is a spring-growing herb known for its clinging stems and gentle, “moving” quality in herbal practice. Traditionally used to support fluid balance and lymphatic movement, it’s most effective when used fresh and in season.
Rather than forcing change, cleavers works quietly — supporting the body’s natural processes as it transitions out of winter. Best used in moderation, it’s a plant that encourages steady movement, not excess.

🌿 Herb of the Week: Cleavers
Cleavers is one of the first plants to emerge in the spring — a quiet, clinging herb traditionally used to support movement, fluid balance, and seasonal transition.
Often found along hedgerows and garden edges, this early green plant has long been used to gently support the body as it shifts out of winter and into spring.
In this week’s Herb of the Week video and blog, we explore:
• how to identify and harvest cleavers
• its traditional uses
• why it’s best used fresh in spring
• simple ways to incorporate it into daily life
