Poke Root Balm is a Lymphatic supporting powerhouse. Poke Root Salve (Phytolacca americana) infuses powerful poke root with organic castor oil, organic olive oil, local beeswax, and frankincense carterii essential oil. Poke is a strongly acting plant that has traditionally been used on skin anomalies, support healthy breast tissue, a healthy lymphatic system, and so much more. I collect wildcrafted poke root in the late fall months in eastern Oklahoma, at the foot of the Ozark Mountains. I brush the root to remove debris, then cut these gigantic roots into tiny pieces so that they are infused into Castor oil most efficiently. I put this on very low heat to help infuse the thick, organic castor oil. I then add local beeswax, a small amount of organic olive oil to help make the balm easier to apply. I personally use this on breast tissue, and over swollen lymph node areas near my ears. I also use this as an under-eye cream to reduce dark circles. Please see reviews on Intothewildusa.Etsy.com. I was a best seller on Etsy for years, and have hundreds of 5 star reviews for this product. Instructions: Apply over area of concern liberally. This can be used safely for up to 6 weeks, 2 weeks off before beginning use again. This balm is used for castor oil packs, and a hot water bottle or heating pad is highly recommended. Cover area of application with organic cloth or tshirt to avoid stains. ***Not meant to treat, diagnose, mitigate, or cure any condition.
