Soft‑Dried Cleavers
£1.55

Gentle Diuretic & Detox Forage

Velvety cleavers (Galium aparine) tops, harvested young and air‑dried until soft. Famous as “sticky weed,” cleavers are naturally rich in vitamin C and soothing silica, with a time‑honoured reputation for keeping kidneys, bladder and lymph clear.

🌿 What’s Inside & Why It Helps

  • 100 % dried cleavers (leaf, stem & tips) – nothing else.

    • Natural diuretic action helps flush excess calcium / sludge from the bladder and supports steady urine flow Rise and Shine Rabbitry

    • Mild lymph‑tonic & detox properties are used in folk medicine to “clean the blood” and support skin health EBSCOPMC

    • Vitamin C & minerals provide an immune lift for cavies and buns The Guinea Pig Forum, Guinea Piggles

Soft‑drying keeps each strand bendy, locking in aroma without turning brittle.

🥄 Feeding Guide (per animal)

⚠️ Sticky Note

Cleavers naturally cling; break strands for very small pets to prevent tangles. Its diuretic nature means more wee—perfect during hot weather, but monitor hydration.
