Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a distinctive annual plant frequently seen growing in disturbed areas or backyards throughout the United States in the spring. Often referred to as “sticky willy” or “bed-straw”, cleavers belong to the madder family, the same family as coffee, and the fruits (burrs) are sometimes made into a coffee substitute.
Cleavers have a long, rich history, not only in the herbal world, but in old Europe. Cleavers were used as a "cheese rennet," and all species of Galium were used to curdle cheese. The term "bed straw" originated from using cleavers to stuff beds because they were widely and easily found and their ability to stick and mat together made a convenient mattress.
Pictured here are cleavers, fine hooked hairs that operate similarly to Velcro. The seed pods also have this Velcro texture, allowing them to "cleave" to animal fur and people's clothing to disperse their seeds. This makes cleavers the perfect (harmless) practical joke for herbalists and plant enthusiasts alike. Take them and secretly attach them to your friend's back for a laugh.
Cleavers is known as a wonderful nutritive herb, and foragers typically like to juice and freeze it to pop into smoothies for a lymphatic boost. Red Moon Herbs lovingly uses cleavers in our Lymph Love tincture to nurture and support the lymphatic system. Get your Lymph Love today for 20% off for the month of March!

As we kick off the Spring Equinox in the sign of Aries, marking the changing of seasons and the blooming of spring, it’s only appropriate to give nettle the spotlight it deserves.
Nettle (Urtica dioica) is associated with the planet Mars and the sign Aries. Nettle (along with Mars) is all about action and stimulation. Nettle can help our systems respond to seasonal challenges and irritants.
We have blended our nettle with goldenrod, ground ivy, and plantain to make an herbal respiratory aid that supports optimal upper and lower respiratory health. It is a perfect springtime ally for us at Red Moon, used while wildcrafting our early spring plants. This is why we have highlighted it this month, and along with Lymph Love, it's 20% off for March. We also added our 4-oz dried Nettle (leaf only) bags back in stock at a discounted price to aid in the transition from winter to spring.
We hope you all enjoy the emergence of this Equinox and spring. Go find some nettle peeking its head from the Earth! Young nettle makes a wonderful pesto. Just make sure to handle with delicate care, much like your favorite Aries in your life. Read more about the relationship between Aries and nettles in our oracle deck: The Herbal Astrology Oracle.

🌙🌙Plant the seeds of what you desire this New Moon and watch them grow like spring flowers 🌜🌜
"If something came to an end around the lunar eclipse, the New Moon in Pisces closes the door once and for all. Remember: New Moons are not about the past – they are for planting seeds and future-oriented goals. This is a fertile lunation, so whatever you focus on has the potential to grow wildly. Dream big! Pisces brings the magic – but you must keep the faith." ~Theresa Reed Thetarotlady.com

Red Moon Herbs handcrafts potent herbal products from fresh, local plants that are consciously wildcrafted or organically cultivated here in Appalachia. To ensure optimum potency, our herbs are lovingly harvested by hand in small batches from plants at the peak of their strength by following the cycles of moon, season, and weather.
Started in 1994 by Corinna Wood and Jessica Godino, Red Moon Herbs has seen many changes over the past 20 years, including incredible growth, two apothecaries, and, most recently, stringent compliance with FDA regulations regarding herbal medicines. In 2012, the directorship was passed to from Corinna Wood to Jeannie Dunn. Throughout these changes, the focus and mission of the business has remained strong and true: to create safe and effective herbal products for the whole family from local, abundant plants.
As a professional herbalist and North Carolina native, Jeannie has been wildcrafting and making herbal extracts, oils, and salves for over a decade. She studied formally at both the NC School of Natural Healing and One World Healing Arts, but her herbal roots go much further back to the back-to-basics lifestyle infused in her as a child. Jeannie picked strawberries, canned vegetables, and pulled weeds from row crops with her parents and three siblings on their multi-generational family farm in Efland, NC. Today, knowing the powerful healing properties of those 'weeds' she used to pull, Jeannie happily uses them in her fermentations, herbal extracts, and fun, medicinal elixirs.
New Directions, Ancient Wisdom
As Jeannie has taken the directorship of Red Moon Herbs – overseeing both the art and the science of this earth-based, Wise Woman herbal business and apothecary – Corinna has stayed involved for support. The apothecary and production studio has moved from Black Mountain to a new location in Weaverville, yet many of the plants are still wildcrafted from their original locations at Earthaven Eco-Village, and the sustainable, earth-centric practices continue to expand.
Under Jeannie’s direction, Red Moon Herbs is expanding to serve more locations locally and regionally, and new faces have joined the family. Click here to learn more about our current staff.
The herbal family at Red Moon is dedicated to the mission of creating potent, high-quality, and local herbal products made the Wise Woman Way, and enthusiastically maintain the company’s 20-year integrity. We look forward to serving all of our current and new customers with the best in planet-friendly plant medicine for decades to come.
