Poke Root
Size: 2 oz Bag
(Latin Name: Phytolacca americana)
(Also known as: Pokeweed Root, Spirit Purger, The Deep Detoxifier)
Brief History & Origin
Poke Root is the Herb of Deep Cleansing and Shadow Healing, known in folk medicine, rootwork, and Indigenous traditions as a potent blood purifier, lymphatic cleanser, and spiritual toxin remover. In the Southern United States, rootworkers and Granny healers used poke cautiously and respectfully, understanding it as powerful plant medicine for clearing stagnation—both physical and spiritual.
Poke is not a gentle herb—it is a mover of shadows, a medicine for when the body or spirit has become stuck, toxic, or burdened by what no longer belongs. It helps cleanse the lymphatic system, break up blockages, and remove parasitic attachments—whether they’re lodged in the tissues or the energy field.
