Used as an infusion, decoction, tincture and salve.

A tea made from the dried plant is useful for skin problems. It is applied daily and allowed to dry. A skin salve can be made by mixing a thick decoction with butter or oilive oil. Cleavers is popularly used in Europe for healing wounds and sores.

Cleavers is also a powerful diuretic, helpful for such serious urinary problems as cystitis.

What research has been done on Cleavers indicates that galiosin, an anthraquinone glycoside, other glycosides, tannins, and flavonoids are the active constituents.

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Modern herbalists and homoeopaths still recognize the value of this herb, and as an alterative consider it may be given to advantage in scurvy, scrofula, psoriasis and skin diseases and eruptions generally.'

'As it is a rather powerful diuretic, care should be taken that it is not given where a tendency to diabetes is manifested. Its use, however, is recommended in dropsical complaints, as it operates with considerable power upon the urinary secretion and the urinary organs. It is given in obstructions of these organs, acting as a solvent of stone in the bladder.'

'The dried plant is often infused in hot water and drunk as a tea, 1 oz. of the dried herb being infused to 1 pint of water. This infusion, either hot or cold, is taken frequently in wine-glassful doses.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'A most valuable refrigerant and diuretic, and will be found very beneficial in many diseases of the urinary organs, as suppression of urine, calculous affections, inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, and in the scalding of urine in gonorrhoea.'

'It is contraindicated in diseases of a passive character, on account of its refrigerant and sedative effects on the system, but may be used freely in fevers and all acute diseases. It has been recommended in scorbutic and nervous affections, but can not be depended upon. Growth or deposits of a nodular character in the skin or mucous membranes are regarded as indications for its use.'

'An infusion may be made by macerating 1½ ounces of the herb in a pint of warm water for 2 hours, of which from 2 to 4 fluid ounces may be given 3 or 4 times a day, when cold. It may be sweetened with sugar or honey.'

American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'A sedative remedy in acute inflammation or irritation of the urinary tract. Given in fever it impresses the temperature favorably, stimulates the excretion of all urinary constituents and the fever is shortened by its use. It is given for its general tonic influence upon the urinary tract.'

'An infusion is the most active form. It is useful in dysuria if from acute inflammation, and it is an excellent remedy for suppression when nephritis has occurred from septic causes. It is useful in strangury in vesical irritation from uterine disorder and in the cystic and prostatic irritation of old men.'
