Poke Root is excellent added to a poultice for drawing infections out of the body, even when there is no open wound (such as in cases of breast infection, lung infection, and inflamed bowel). Poke Root is a major ingredient in packs for breast infections in nursing mothers. Poke Root, especially when mixed with Mullein and Plantain, is also a great wound healer. It should be taken internally only in very moderate doses. Poke Root, combined with other herbs, can make formulas that are especially effective for chronic respiratory ailments. Being astringent, it helps dry up mucus and catarrh.
