Poke Root (Phytolacca americana) is a potent traditional herb revered for its deep action on the lymphatic system. Traditionally used in small external applications, it helps clear lymphatic stagnation, reduce swollen glands, and support detoxification through the skin and tissues. This root must not be ingested internally without direct guidance from a qualified herbalist, as it is highly concentrated. Poke Root is best used externally as a compress or infused oil to support swollen lymph nodes, breast tenderness, fibrocystic tissue, and slow lymph drainage—especially during immune flare-ups or hormonal transitions.
