I have been researching poke root to use for lymphatic drainage that is causing a lot of swelling after all nodes have been removed underarm. I understand the toxic nature of poke and have ran in to a lot of contradictory information. I have make a tincture already but have been very reluctant to start it. Patient is in full remission from cancer and on no medication.

I had read that poke root was a great antibiotic and made a tincture years ago – but never used it. I had also read about the toxicity that you refer to. I ended up dumping the tincture. There are so many safe herbs with powerful antibiotic properties that it wasn’t worth taking the risk. IMHO, I’d opt for a safer herb for lymphatic drainage. How about cleavers? 🙂 Will follow this topic as I’ve been curious about poke.
