Also called poke, pokebush, pokeberry, pokeroot, polk salad, inkberry or ombú, the pokeweeds comprise the genus Phytolacca, perennial plants native to North and South America, East Asia and New Zealand. Pokeweeds are herbs growing from 1-10 feet tall. The ombú, (Phytolacca dioica) grows as a tree on the pampas of South America and is one of the only sources of shade on the open grassland.
Phytolacca berry's Mother Tincture (individual flower essence-see below) is possibly the safest, as well as an effective, way to lose excess fat around the stomach. Once you lose the fat you don't get it back because your body starts taking care of itself and keeps you from gathering weight. To get your stomach to lose its flab and return to its flat, tight shape, use Phytolacca, especially after having a baby.
It doesn't take a diet and health professional to point out that the most common reason for obesity is the eating of more food than the body needs coupled with an inactive lifestyle. You can take Phytolacca pills in two doses every day before meals till the desired weight loss is obtained. Phytolacca berry acts as a good medicine for obesity. Pursue a more active lifestyle for even better results by increasing physical activity wherever possible. Another key element of a homeopathic weight loss program is to decrease consumption of foods high in fat and sugar.
Here's how you make the tincture: combine equal parts of coneflower; poke root, red clover, plantain, gotu kola, and yellowdock. Take 30 to 60 drops tincture three times per day, or drink three to four cups tea daily for up to six weeks at a time.
The tincture of Phytolacca is so potent that some authorities consider it poisonous. You may have a hard time finding it for sale. Poke is good, not only for weight loss, but also for when the flu bug has taken over. Since it's so strong, it's best not to use Phytolacca as a preventive measure. Pokeroot boosts your immune system into high gear. Only one drop (yes, one), once or twice a day for only a month, although in serious cases you can use up to 8 doses per day. We urge you to use caution and consult a physician before taking any of these homeopathic treatments. All of the remedies mentioned above are drugs just as any other herbal remedy for weight loss is a drug.
Fibroids are solid muscle tissue growths in the uterus. They are the number one reason American women have hysterectomies. Pokeroot, used internally as a tincture and externally as belly rub oil, has gained a reputation as a profound helper in relieving pain and distress from fibroids. Since poke is not often found for sale, you may have to make this remedy yourself.
Pokeroot
can also be used for chronic rheumatism and breast cancer treatment. Although
poke has so many uses, you should proceed with caution - overdose can cause
vomiting and purging, and it may be fatal in children.
