Clivers (Galium aparine) are also known by the names Bedstraw, Cleavers or Goosegrass. This European herb can be found growing in many hedgerows and fields and is collected and gently dried during the flowering and fruiting period. Clivers and Dandelion have traditionally been used as a spring tonic for animals after a long winter to help cleanse and re-energise their systems. Clivers support the lymphatic and urinary systems, and the high silica content helps to strengthen hair and coat.
This product has 6 months shelf life.

Traditionally, Clivers have been used internally as a tonic for the lymphatic system. It is considered to have diuretic and astringent actions when eaten, so can be helpful for fluid retention such as with wind-galls or filled legs. It is also rich in silica, so can help strengthen the coat. Clivers can also be helpful as an astringent tonic to promote healthy skin. Clivers can be used externally on irritated dry skin as a poultice or an infusion. Clivers and Dandelion roots and leaves are a good combination and can be fed long term.
