Galiosin, an anthraquinone glycoside, other glycosides, tannins, and flavonoids may be the major constituents of cleavers. Little research has been conducted on this plant, but preliminary lab experiments suggest it may have antispasmodic activity.2
How to Use It
Cleavers tincture and tea are most widely recommended by herbal practitioners. Tincture (1/21 teaspoon or 35 ml) can be taken three times per day. Tea is made by steeping 23 teaspoons (1015 grams) of the herb in 1 cup (250 ml) of hot water for ten to fifteen minutes. People can drink three or more cups per day.
