I have looked up what my sticky weed is called and it's a cleaver and also goes by many names - the one I like is 'sticky willy' LOL
As a tea, the plant acts as a diuretic and lymphatic. As a lymphatic tonic, it is used in a wide range of problems involving the lymph system, such as swollen glands (e.g. tonsillitis).
Poultices and washes made from cleavers were traditionally used to treat a variety of skin ailments, light wounds and burns. As a pulp, it has been used to relieve poisonous bites and stings. To make a poultice, the entire plant is used, and applied directly to the affected area.
It's often used for medicine etc - it's amazing what people use it for too....

Has been used as Bedstraw among other things.
I have it growing on my compost heap.
One place I lived in Norfolk... I catalogued the usable herbs (culinary and medicinal) that made up our 1/2 arce.... there were over 120 . That isnt unusual in a reasonable "rural" plot.
There is much treasure... if you look.
