A calm, evidence-first guide for Canadians on how the lymphatic system and fluid balance really work, why you may feel puffy, and what research says about cleavers, dandelion leaf, burdock root, red clover and ginger root. Cleantra is presented as one option, not a cure.
Prices are shown in US dollars (USD). Canadian taxes are calculated at checkout.
Cleantra is a liquid herbal extract containing cleavers, dandelion leaf, burdock root, red clover and ginger root. You take 2 drops a day under the tongue or in a drink. It is a natural health supplement, not a medicine, and it ships to every Canadian province and territory we serve.
No large, independent trial has tested this exact blend. Evidence for each herb is traditional or limited, and individual results vary. Movement, sleep, salt intake and care for underlying causes matter more than any supplement.
Call 911 for sudden swelling with breathlessness or chest pain, or one swollen, painful leg. For swelling that lingers or returns, see your doctor or nurse practitioner, or call 811 for free 24/7 nurse advice in most provinces.

Cleantra Lymphatic Drainage Drops are a herbal liquid extract designed for adults who want a simple, plant-based way to support healthy lymphatic flow and everyday fluid balance. The label describes it as "traditional lymphatic support". That wording matters: it points to historical use, not to a proven medical outcome.
The formula combines five botanicals long used in European and North American herbal traditions. The brand is inspired by ancient Japanese wellness ideas of gentle, daily rituals. Drops are taken under the tongue or diluted in a drink, which many Canadians prefer to capsules, especially during cold, dry winters when routines slip.
Cleantra is sold online at cleantra.ca and shipped to Canadian addresses. Prices are listed in USD so that what you see is what your card is charged before any conversion by your bank.

The lymphatic system is a one-way drainage network that runs alongside your blood vessels. Every day, small amounts of fluid leak from tiny blood capillaries into the spaces between your cells. Most is reabsorbed by the blood, but a portion, often two to four litres a day in a healthy adult, is collected by lymphatic vessels and returned to the bloodstream.
Along the way, lymph passes through hundreds of lymph nodes, concentrated in the neck, armpits, chest, abdomen and groin. Inside the nodes, immune cells examine the fluid for bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells. This is why nodes in the neck can feel tender when you have a cold.
Capillaries release fluid and nutrients into tissue so cells can feed.
Tiny one-way lymph capillaries absorb the excess, now called lymph.
Lymph passes through nodes where immune cells check for germs.
Large ducts near the collarbones empty lymph back into the veins.
Unlike blood, lymph has no central pump. It moves because of muscle contractions, breathing, the pulsing of nearby arteries, and small valves that stop backflow. Larger lymph vessels also have smooth muscle that squeezes rhythmically on its own.
That is why movement is the single most reliable everyday support for lymph flow. Sitting for hours, especially with legs down, reduces the muscle pumping that returns fluid from the lower body. Long winters, desk jobs and long commutes can all quietly reduce movement.
Popular wellness marketing often says the lymphatic system is "clogged" and must be cleansed. That framing is not supported by medicine. Your liver and kidneys handle waste processing, and healthy lymph vessels do not accumulate buildup that a supplement can remove. When lymph drainage is truly impaired, as in lymphedema, it is a medical condition caused by damage, surgery, radiation, infection or genetics, and it needs a specialist.
In Canada, lymphedema care is often coordinated through cancer centres, hospital clinics and certified lymphedema therapists. The Canadian Lymphedema Framework and provincial lymphedema associations list trained therapists. Cleantra does not claim to treat lymphedema; our interest is the everyday end of the spectrum.
Feeling puffy, bloated or heavy is extremely common and usually harmless. Fluid shifts through the day with posture, food, hormones and temperature. Canadians face a few extra triggers, such as overheated indoor air in winter, big temperature swings between seasons and long-haul domestic flights. Here are the eight everyday contributors worth checking before you consider any supplement.
Sodium makes your body hold water. Health Canada notes that most Canadians eat well above the recommended amount, mostly from processed and restaurant foods.
Short or broken sleep shifts hormones that regulate fluid and appetite. Lying flat also lets fluid settle around the eyes overnight.
Menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause change fluid retention. Many people notice cyclical bloating in the week before a period.
Warm weather, hot baths and dry indoor heating widen blood vessels so more fluid leaks into tissue. Swollen feet on a hot day are typical.
Alcohol dehydrates, and the body may then hold on to water. A puffy face the morning after is a familiar example.
Gravity pulls fluid to the feet. Long flights, desk days and standing jobs reduce the calf-muscle pump that moves fluid upward.
Some blood-pressure drugs, anti-inflammatories, steroids and hormone therapies can cause swelling. Never stop a medicine without advice.
An allergic reaction releases histamine, which makes vessels leaky and can swell lips, eyelids or skin. Severe swelling is an emergency.
Heart, kidney, liver and thyroid problems, blood clots, infection and lymphedema can all cause swelling. Only a professional can tell the difference. Call 811 (or your provincial Health Link service; in Quebec, Info-Santé 811) for free advice from a registered nurse.
Below is a plain-language summary of each botanical: what it is, how it has traditionally been used, what the research actually shows, and what to watch for. "Limited evidence" means we could not find strong human trials supporting a specific effect. Several of these plants also grow wild across Canada, which is part of why they appear in North American folk herbalism.
| Herb | What it is | Traditional use | Evidence | Cautions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleavers | Sticky annual herb, Galium aparine | Spring tonic, lymphatic herb in Western herbalism | Very limited; almost no human trials | Limited safety data; avoid in pregnancy |
| Dandelion leaf | Leaf of Taraxacum officinale | Traditional "diuretic" herb | One small human study showed increased urination over several hours (Clare 2009); low quality | Daisy-family allergy; may interact with diuretics, lithium, some antibiotics |
| Burdock root | Root of Arctium lappa | Skin and "blood" tonic in Europe and Asia | Lab and small studies; no solid human proof for fluid balance | Daisy-family allergy; avoid in pregnancy |
| Red clover | Flower of Trifolium pratense | Traditional skin and women's-health herb | Isoflavone studies in menopause give mixed results | Plant estrogens; hormone-sensitive conditions; may affect clotting |
| Ginger root | Rhizome of Zingiber officinale | Digestive and warming herb worldwide | Good evidence for nausea; none for lymph flow | Heartburn; may add to blood-thinner effects at high doses |
Cleavers, also called sticky willy or goosegrass, clings to clothing with tiny hooked hairs and grows across southern Canada. Herbalists have long described it as a gentle tonic for the lymphatic system, often drunk as a fresh-plant tea or tincture in spring.
Verdict: tradition-based. Modern trials are scarce, so any benefit remains unproven. It is the least-studied herb in the blend, which is why we describe the formula as "traditional support" and not as a treatment.
Its French name, pissenlit, hints at its reputation, and many Canadians will know it from the lawn. Dandelion leaf is rich in potassium, which is one reason it was thought to help balance fluid. A 2009 pilot study in 17 volunteers reported more urination after a leaf extract, but there was no control group.
Verdict: interesting but weak. Any mild urine-increasing effect does not mean it helps with swelling. People with gallbladder or bile-duct problems should ask a clinician before using it.
Burdock root is eaten as a vegetable, called gobo, in Japan and is a staple of traditional Western "alterative" herbal blends. It contains inulin, a prebiotic fibre, plus plant polyphenols with antioxidant activity in laboratory tests.
Verdict: safe as a food in normal amounts; evidence for fluid balance or lymph flow is not established. Burdock can be confused with toxic lookalikes if foraged, so choose tested commercial extracts.
Red clover flowers contain isoflavones such as biochanin A and formononetin. Most research looks at hot flashes in menopause, where reviews find small or inconsistent effects. It has not been shown to affect lymphatic flow.
Verdict: relevant mainly for safety. Because isoflavones act weakly like estrogen, people with breast, uterine or ovarian history, or on hormone treatments or anticoagulants, need medical advice first.
Ginger is the best-studied herb here, with solid evidence for nausea in pregnancy and after surgery, and some evidence for muscle soreness and osteoarthritis pain. Its warming nature is why traditional systems include it to "move" a blend. Gingerols may mildly inhibit platelets, so interaction with warfarin and other anticoagulants has been reported, mostly at higher doses.
Verdict: well-studied for digestion, not for lymph. A small amount in the formula is a reasonable flavour and tradition choice; discuss it with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners.
Few wellness topics attract as many confident claims as the lymphatic system. Sorting myth from fact protects your money and your health, and helps you judge any product, including ours, with clear eyes. Canadian advertising rules prohibit false or misleading health claims, and so should your own common sense.
Myth
Fact
Healthy lymph vessels do not store toxins. Your liver, kidneys, lungs and gut manage waste. True lymphatic blockage is a medical condition that needs a specialist.
Myth
Fact
Staying hydrated supports normal circulation, but extra water beyond thirst does not speed lymph. Very large amounts in a short time can dilute blood sodium and be dangerous.
Myth
Fact
Plants are chemically active. Ginger, red clover and dandelion each have documented cautions, which is why this page lists who should speak to a professional first.
Myth
Fact
Most everyday puffiness comes from salt, sleep, heat, hormones or posture. Heart, kidney, liver and vein conditions are more common causes of persistent swelling than lymph failure.
Myth
Fact
Lymph depends on muscle action and breathing. No drop, capsule or tea replaces a daily walk, even a brisk winter one.
Myth
Fact
Gentle herbal routines work, if they work for you, over weeks and alongside habits. Beware of anything promising overnight change.
The common thread: lymph flow is mainly mechanical, and your organs of elimination already do their jobs. A thoughtful routine can support everyday comfort while you address the real drivers of puffiness: sleep, salt, movement and medical conditions that deserve proper care.
A good recommendation starts with who it is for. We would rather you choose well than choose quickly. Use this guide to decide whether a herbal lymphatic drop belongs in your routine, and which pack size makes sense if it does.
A bottle holds about 600 two-drop servings, so one bottle lasts a long time. Pack size is mostly about price per bottle and shipping, not about taking more.
| Pack | Best for | Price per bottle (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1x Cleantra | Trying the drops for the first time and reviewing after 30 days | $29.99 |
| 2x Cleantra | Couples or friends who want to try it together | $22.49 |
| 3x Cleantra (best seller) | A longer routine at a lower price per bottle | $19.49 |
| 5x Cleantra (free shipping) | Households and gifting, with the lowest price per bottle | $17.99 |
Our honest advice: start with one or three bottles, follow the label, keep up your movement habits and check in with your health care provider if anything about your swelling worries you. The 30-day money-back guarantee exists so that trying carries little risk.
Always follow the directions printed on your bottle, which override this page. The routine is simple and fits around breakfast, coffee or an evening wind-down.
Shake the bottle gently before each use so the extract is evenly mixed.
Fill the dropper and dispense 2 drops. Never exceed the label amount.
Hold under the tongue for fastest absorption, or stir into water, tea or juice.
Take it once daily at a similar time and review after 30 days.
Herbal does not mean risk-free. Plants contain active compounds that can interact with prescription medicines. Please read this section carefully and share it with your pharmacist; in Canada, pharmacists can review your full medication list at no cost.
| Medicine type | Herb of concern | Possible issue |
|---|---|---|
| Warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, ASA (aspirin), clopidogrel | Ginger, red clover | May add to bleeding or affect clotting |
| Diuretics ("water pills") | Dandelion leaf | May add to fluid and potassium changes |
| Lithium | Dandelion leaf | Could change lithium levels |
| Hormone therapy, birth control, tamoxifen | Red clover | Plant estrogens may interact |
| Diabetes medicines | Burdock, ginger | May lower blood sugar further |
| Medicines processed by the liver | Red clover | May alter metabolism of some drugs |
This table summarises interaction reports from the sources listed below. Data on herbs is still evolving, so always ask a pharmacist about your own medicines.
Habits do more for everyday fluid balance than any bottle. These are low-cost, low-risk and consistent with Canada's 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and Canada's Food Guide.
Canadian guidelines suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week for adults. A 5-minute walk every hour of sitting also helps.
Point and flex feet 15 to 20 times, a few times a day, especially while seated.
Five slow belly breaths. The pressure changes help lymph move in the chest.
Rest legs above hip level for 15 minutes in the evening.
Safety limits: stop if you feel pain, dizziness or breathlessness. Do not do ankle pumps or elevation as a treatment if one leg is swollen, painful or red; see a clinician first.
Drink to thirst and keep urine pale yellow. Drinking much more water than you need does not flush fluid out and can be unsafe in extremes. Winter's dry indoor air can make thirst less obvious.
Most Canadian adults consume more sodium than recommended. Cooking at home, checking the Nutrition Facts table and eating potassium-rich fruit and vegetables supports balance. Limit alcohol.
Aim for seven to nine hours. Raising your head slightly can reduce morning facial puffiness for some people.
Dry brushing feels invigorating and may exfoliate skin, but there is no good evidence it moves lymph or affects fluid balance. Gentle self-massage at home is unlikely to harm healthy people, and it can feel relaxing.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) delivered by a trained therapist is a recognized part of complex decongestive therapy for lymphedema, but reviews of its use for general puffiness are weak. Avoid massage over areas with infection, suspected clots, or active cancer unless your clinician agrees.
No single approach suits everyone. Here is how common options compare, including ones that do not involve buying anything from us.
| Option | Best for | Evidence | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lifestyle habits | Everyday puffiness | Strong, general | Free | First step for most people |
| Compression garments (via a clinician) | Leg swelling, vein or lymph conditions | Strong when properly fitted | Moderate; some private plans reimburse | Needs assessment first; unsafe with some circulation problems |
| Manual lymph drainage (trained therapist) | Diagnosed lymphedema | Mixed to moderate | Higher; often private coverage | Part of a medical programme |
| Herbal drops (Cleantra) | Adults wanting a traditional herbal routine | Limited and traditional | From US$17.99 per bottle | Check medicines first; complements, not replaces, the above |

Cleantra is designed to be easy. Two drops, once a day, either under the tongue or stirred into water, tea or juice. It tastes like honey, which makes consistency far easier than with bitter tinctures.
Tip: for the fastest absorption, place the drops directly under your tongue and hold for a few seconds before swallowing.
Order nowGentle self-massage is popular because it feels relaxing and costs nothing. The key is lightness: lymph vessels sit just under the skin, so the pressure should be about as firm as stroking a cat, never deep or painful.
Sit comfortably and take three slow belly breaths. With flat fingers, make light downward strokes from the ears toward the collarbones about ten times.
Stroke gently from the wrist toward the shoulder, then from the shoulder toward the collarbone. Repeat five times per arm.
Use a soft clockwise circle around the navel, the direction food travels through the gut. This is also helpful for everyday bloating.
Starting at the ankle, stroke upward toward the knee, then thigh toward the hip. Raise your legs afterwards for ten minutes.
An active infection or fever, a suspected blood clot, heart failure, kidney disease, active cancer, or a diagnosis of lymphedema, unless your clinician has taught you a specific technique. Avoid any swollen, red, warm or painful limb. Stop if you feel pain or dizziness.
Evidence for home massage in healthy people is thin, so treat it as relaxation, not therapy. For diagnosed lymphedema, a certified lymphedema therapist is the right route.
In Canada, supplements like herbal extracts are regulated by Health Canada as natural health products under the Natural Health Products Regulations. Before you buy any herbal product online, a few checks protect you. We encourage you to apply them to Cleantra, and to every other product you consider.
Licensed natural health products carry an eight-digit Natural Product Number (NPN) or DIN-HM on the label. You can verify any number in Health Canada's Licensed Natural Health Products Database.
Canadian labels list medicinal ingredients, recommended use, duration of use, risk information and non-medicinal ingredients. Compare what the website says with what is printed on the bottle.
If you have a side effect, tell your provider and report it to Health Canada's Canada Vigilance Program. You can also report misleading claims to the Competition Bureau or Ad Standards.

We only publish quality claims we can document. Here is what we can tell you about who makes Cleantra, how each batch is checked, and what is, and is not, in the bottle.

Cleantra is made by Dr. Sheenso Natural Wellness, and more than 100,000 people have tried the brand's drops. The collage shows customers holding their own bottles in their own homes: kitchens, living rooms and gardens, not studios.
What customers describe most often is routine rather than miracle: a daily habit that is pleasant to take, a lighter feeling at the end of the day, and the confidence of a clear guarantee.

Cleantra Lymphatic Drainage Drops are made by Dr. Sheenso Natural Wellness and sold direct to Canadian customers at cleantra.ca. The brand takes its inspiration from ancient Japanese wellness traditions of small, consistent daily rituals, combined with Western herbal knowledge of cleavers, dandelion, burdock, red clover and ginger.
Every health statement links to a public health authority, a regulator or a published review, and we state when evidence is limited.
We describe "traditional support", not cures. We avoid words like detox and never claim the drops treat swelling or lymphedema.

A liquid herbal extract with cleavers, dandelion leaf, burdock root, red clover and ginger root, taken as 2 drops under the tongue or in a drink once daily.
Honestly, there are no large trials of this exact blend. Some individual herbs have traditional use and limited research. Results vary, and habits like movement matter most.
It returns fluid from tissues to the blood, supports immune surveillance and helps absorb dietary fats.
Common causes include salt, poor sleep, hormones, heat, alcohol, long standing, medicines and allergies. Persistent or one-sided swelling needs medical review.
Call 911 for sudden swelling with breathlessness or chest pain, or one swollen, painful leg. See a health care provider, or call 811, for swelling that persists or keeps returning.
Cleantra is not marketed as a diuretic. Dandelion leaf has been studied for a mild diuretic effect in a small study, so ask a pharmacist if you take diuretics.
Take 2 drops under your tongue or mixed in a drink, once daily. Shake gently before use and never exceed the label amount.
It tastes like honey with mild earthy herbal notes. The base is purified water and vegetable glycerin, with no added alcohol.
Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, with a medical condition, or allergic to the daisy family should ask a health care provider first.
Only after checking with a pharmacist or doctor. Ginger and red clover may interact with blood thinners; dandelion may interact with diuretics and some other medicines.
Possible effects include stomach upset, heartburn or allergic reaction. Stop use, contact a provider, and report reactions to Health Canada's Canada Vigilance Program.
Follow the label. Consider a trial of 30 days and review with your provider; do not use it to replace medical care.
