Benefits of Cleavers #shorts

It has medicinal value. And so cleavers is really good for a vata constitution. It's helpful to make a fresh tea, so you boil water and you pour the water over the aerial parts. And so the aerial parts, in my understanding, is anything that is above the ground, the leaves, the flowers, the seeds. And it's best used before it goes to seed. So you want to get it in the spring when it's fresh, before it goes to seed. This guy, it looks like he's kind of seeding a little bit. He's got some of the fluffies. But Lauren and I just ate some seeds, and I think it was kind of nice and earthy. And the other thing for cleavers is it's like nervousness, irritability, and it's really good for a vata kind of constitution in Ayurvedic medicine. And its main use is the fresh juice is a great lymphagogue. And a lymph, no, gogue is something that moves the lymph in your body. So it's great for spraying, kind of cleaning out the house, detoxifying. And so if you don't spray and you don't put toxic chemicals in your grass and your weeds, there might be some friends in there that you could use.
