Poke Root Liquid Extract #3164 by Health and Herbs

Usually used in combination with other herbs to cleanse the lymph

Description
Poke Root is a pain reliever and cathartic.

From Herbal Descriptions by Truman Berst: #3164 POKE ROOT (Phytolacca americana) This plant should only be used by the well-trained herbalist. Its results can be fatal. In small doses, Poke root is used as a blood purifier, in combination with other herbs such as Red Clover, Echinacea, and Yellow Dock. It is a stimulant for the lymphatic system, and it helps to clear the lymph. Some of its uses include: tonsillitis, swollen glands, mastitis, mumps, rheumatism and arthritis (due to its stimulating effect on the elimination of tissues), pain, chronic catarrh, respiratory disorders, breasttumors, laryngitis, biliousness, liver and kidney congestion, and skin diseases.

It should not be used more than one gram per day. When used in its higher dosage amounts, it acts as an emetic and a cathartic. Externally it can be used for scabies, eczema, skin infections and parasites, breast tumors, caked breasts, abscesses, and fungal infections. To make a poultice for breast tumors and caked breasts, mix the root powder with slippery elm and water, keeping the poultice on for three days and moistened. Change the poultice every three days. It can also be used as a spring tonic, high in minerals, by using the young shoots as a pot-herb, boiling them in at least two changes of water. CAUTION: This plant is extremely potent and poisonous if not used appropriately.
