Clivers is an excellent herb for supporting and toning the lymphatic system. It is rich in silica and as such will strengthen the coat and hair.


Feeding guidelines: 20-30g daily
1/2 mugful = 20g


Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including clivers, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for the full effects to be seen.

There is a way to speed up the effect! By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse.

Ideally, add a ½ litre/pint of boiling water to the herbs to be given that day. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down the horses feed. If access to a kettle is not practical, soaking overnight in cold water will also help to release the active constituents.
