Cleavers has been used historically as an anti-inflammatory and blood purifier and in treating ulcers, tumors, cystitis, bladder and kidney inflammation, dropsy, gravel, fevers, hepatitis, viral infections, psoriasis and various skin diseases. Cleavers is one of numerous plants considered in ancient times to act as a diuretic. It was therefore used to relieve edema and to promote urine formation during bladder infections.
