Poke Root Herbal Extract

$15.00

Poke Root, phytolacca, is a native American plant that has long been used to help the lymphatic system. It can be helpful when there are stagnant or swollen lymphatics such as swollen, sore or strep throat, mastitis and breast problems in general. Best for acute problems, and not to be used for more than 2 weeks.

This is not an herbal extract that is to be used lightly. Poke is a LOW DOSE botanical. Maximum adult dosage is 3 drops well diluted in 1 cup of water, taken up to 2x daily.

If you suffer from lymphatic cancer, do not take this herb. Large doses may have narcotic effects and slow the heart rate and decrease blood pressure, so always use caution. Side effects may include prolonged vomiting, convulsions, muscle spasms and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. If any of these effects manifest, stop using immediately.

Adults: 3 drops well diluted in 1 cup of water, taken up to 2x daily. Not suitable for children. Not to be used during pregnancy or nursing. Not for extended use.

Created with care from wild harvested fresh poke root right on our homestead and 80 proof alcohol.

1 oz. amber glass bottle with a dropper
