Cleavers

Cleavers, also known as Galium aparine, is a plant native to Europe and parts of Asia and North America. This herbaceous plant often grows in moist environments, such as along water edges and in shady forests. Cleavers is known for its sticky leaves and stems, which attach to other plants and animals.

Traditionally, cleavers are used in various naturopathic applications. It is often employed as a mild diuretic and can be consumed in tea form. For pets such as dogs, chickens, and horses, cleavers can be a dietary supplement. It is sometimes used to support digestion and promote overall health, although this largely depends on the specific needs of the animal.

When using cleavers for animals, it is important to consider the correct dosage and the individual health condition. Consulting with a veterinarian can be helpful in determining whether cleavers is a suitable supplement for dogs, chickens, or horses.
