      St. Francis Cleavers Tincture Details

      Support your lymphatic system with our Cleavers Tincture. Cleavers is a classic alterative herb that also helps with skin conditions.

      Take it if you want to reduce lymphatic swelling, or if you need a diuretic to ease painful urination during urinary tract infections. Alterative is an old herbal term for a plant thought to gradually restore healthy function — cleavers is the one most consistently associated with the lymphatic system specifically.

      Made from cleavers (Galium aparine, top) at 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, in a base of distilled water and certified organic alcohol. 50 ml with a dropper.

      St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid herbal extracts in Ontario since 1988. Their tinctures use certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and are made to a stated extraction ratio so you know the strength of what you are taking.

      Who St. Francis Cleavers Tincture Is For

      This suits anyone working on lymphatic drainage, and people dealing with persistent skin conditions where the traditional herbal approach works through the lymph rather than topically. It is a herb practitioners reach for often.

      **Consult a practitioner before use if you have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or fever** — those symptoms need investigating rather than treating with a diuretic. A urinary tract infection with fever or flank pain needs a doctor, since it may have reached the kidneys.

      St. Francis Cleavers Tincture Features and Benefits

      • Single-Herb Tincture — Cleavers (Galium aparine) alone, with no blend to dilute it.
      • Stated Extraction Ratio — 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, so you know the strength.
      • Certified Organic Alcohol — The extraction base is organic, not industrial ethanol.
      • Liquid Absorbs Faster Than Capsules — Tinctures do not need to disintegrate before absorption can begin.
      • Dropper Dosing — Adjustable to the drop, which capsules cannot match.
      • Made in Ontario Since 1988 — St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid extracts in Canada for over thirty years.
      • 50ml Bottle — A practical size for a single-herb tincture taken three times daily.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Product Information

      ➕ What is St. Francis Cleavers Tincture?
      A single-herb liquid extract of cleavers (Galium aparine, top) at 250 mg QCE per millilitre, in a 50 ml dropper bottle.
      ➕ How much do I take?
      Adults: 2.4 ml (72 drops) 4 times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Why a tincture rather than capsules?
      Liquid extracts absorb without needing to disintegrate first, and a dropper lets you adjust the dose to the drop.
      ➕ Does it contain alcohol?
      Yes. Certified organic alcohol is the extraction solvent — it is what pulls the compounds from the plant. Taken in a little water the amount per dose is very small, but it is worth knowing if you avoid alcohol.

      Benefits of Ingredients

      ➕ What is an alterative?
      An older herbal term for a plant thought to gradually restore healthy function rather than act on one symptom. Cleavers is the alterative most associated with the lymphatic system.
      ➕ Is this the sticky weed from the garden?
      Yes. Galium aparine is the plant children stick to each other's clothing. It is a common weed across the temperate world and a long-standing herbal remedy.
      ➕ Why four times daily?
      Cleavers is dosed more frequently than most tinctures in the range, at 2.4 ml four times daily rather than the usual three.
      ➕ What does Quantity Crude Equivalent mean?
      Quantity Crude Equivalent tells you how much raw herb each millilitre represents. A 1:4 tincture at 250 mg QCE means every millilitre carries the equivalent of 250 mg of dried herb. Stating the ratio is what separates a properly made tincture from one that simply lists an ingredient.

      Usage and Storage

      ➕ How do I take it?
      Adults: 2.4 ml (72 drops) 4 times daily in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Are there any cautions?
      Consult a health care practitioner before use if you have abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or fever. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist.
      ➕ How should I store it?
      Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light with the cap closed. Keep out of reach of children.

      Support your lymphatic system with our Cleavers Tincture. Cleavers is a classic alterative herb that also helps with skin conditions.
