Poke Root: The Toxic Weed Used for Lymph + Immune Support

Poke Root: The Power and History of One of North America’s Most Misunderstood Herbs 🌿 In this video, I explore the fascinating history and traditional uses of poke root (Phytolacca americana) — a powerful plant often called pokeweed that grows wild across North America. While many people see pokeweed as an invasive weed along roadsides, early American herbalists and eclectic physicians studied this plant carefully and used it in very small doses as part of traditional botanical formulas. In this video I also share the story behind Mycocyde, a classic herbal formula created by my father — a botanist, herbal lecturer, and author of From the Shepherd’s Purse (1979). His work in botanical medicine and herbal formulation inspired much of what we do at Barlow Herbal today.
