Clivers is an herb. People use the parts that grow above the ground to make medicine.
People use clivers to increase urine flow to relieve fluid retention, and for painful urination, enlarged or infected lymph nodes, and a skin condition called psoriasis, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
People sometimes apply clivers directly to the skin for ulcers, enlarged glands, breast lumps, and skin rashes, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
