Fascinating video! You've taught me a lot about what I now know are cleavers ! They definitely took over one of our smallish abandoned veg gardens .! Loved your story about the elder's wisdom , that plants will draw you to them in time of need, and from what happened to your foot, it certainly happened just as the elder said it would! Thx again
Ads can be most annoying and so when I post a vid, I always choose the least invasive...the ones you can click off. The reality is, if I do not monetize them - YT will. Thank you so much for being here and your kind words!
Thanks for sharing! I've been selectively letting the cleavers spread and proliferate in my yard. They're fun for the kids of course, but I'm trying to build up my own natural pharmacy in my yard!
You are welcome and how wonderful growing your own pharmacy!!!

Thank you so much! I’m just learning about this plant because at my wellness check, my LPN told me to research it! I have swelling in my left foot a lot! 8:36
Thanks another beneficial video! I like the personal take on how you've used this plant. That will help me remember what it's good for. Our little dog used to come home with this clinging to his fur. :)
We happened upon your channel and were not aware of the cleaver plants in our yard. Thanks so much for your wealth of information about the benefits of this plant! We will now use this herb! PS Loved your story!

I am new to foraging and new to your channel. SO GLAD I found you. It is nice to have a Canadian source. Since I just found out about cleavers, mine are finished blooming and I read in a book that they are best used before seeding. How long do you forage the cleaver leaves? Do you dry many for winter teas (if you can dry them at all). Thanks for this info. I LOVE your channel. Thank you.
Rhonda thank you for being here! I am so glad you are here! I gather mine up to the time they flower. Yes, I dry them so I can enjoy a cup of tea when they are not in season!!
In RU-vid's most recent terms of use, they can put ads on videos whether they're monetized or not. Personally I use an adblocker, but I feel like if they're going to put ads either way, you might as well make money from it.
Thanks for the great info of uses . I have alot in my garden I never thought that it has any more benifits than just clinging to our clothes and annoy us🤣🤣wondering how the green juice wuld turn out. Will give it a try. Do you mix anything else with the green juice ? Thanks
Does it have to be dried while it’s still flowering? Or will it be effective for urinary and detoxifying if it’s dried after the plant is done flowering or in the seed process? Thank you so much for the great information.
They are best prior to flowering - although there will be some benefits as they flower... just not as good. Once flowering, most of the plant energy is going into seed production.
@@kathrynhoskin3225 Or his blood needs purifying for some reason? Cleavers cleanse the blood - also well known for relieving edema and to promote urine formation during bladder infections.
Hi there...I just subscribed. I found you by googling Cleavers as it is great for edema. Can I use the stems as well as the leaves in a tea? What type of terrain will I find this in? Can I order some anywhere? Thank you.
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I am appreciative! Yes, use the stems as well! They grow in many areas, more often than not I find them along woodland edges. My website may help you with more information. www.ediblewildfood.com/cleavers.aspx As for ordering dried cleavers, if you are in the U.S. try Mountain Rose.. mountainroseherbs.com/cleavers You can also buy it as a tea. There is a brand called Celebration Herbals and they have cleavers tea!
