Poke Root (Phytolacca americana) infused oil is recommended for tissue congestion, impaired lymphatic function, swollen glands, mastitis, sore breasts and breast lumps.

Herbalist Susun Weed states: “That strange-looking weed with the drooping black berries that towers over gardens and roadsides throughout much of eastern North America is pokeweed - an old favorite of wise women dealing with breast lumps and breast cancer. If I felt a suspicious lump, I’d reach for poke root oil. It reduces congestion, relieves swelling, and literally dissolves growths in the breasts.

The infused oil is effective and safe. A generous amount is gently applied to the breast lump, covered with a flannel cloth and then with a hot water bottle (no heating pads) and left on for as long as you’re comfortable. This is repeated at least twice a day. Poke root oil is too powerful for regular preventive care. Caution: Poke oil can cause a rash on sensitive skin. Ingestion of poke oil can cause severe intestinal distress.”
