Cleavers as a diuretic

Cleavers is an important herb for supporting the lymphatic system. It helps with swollen lymph nodes or in horses with CPL/lymphatic problems in the legs. Additionally, cleavers help to drain excess fluid more easily. Horses with stable legs often have less swollen legs after a week of feeding cleavers.

Cleavers also have anti-inflammatory properties, support the liver, and act as a diuretic.
