        I have read that people use pokeberry for weight loss.  Has anyone tried this? Did you make a tincture and use it?

          I have seen this usage mentioned with the following caveats – berries but NOT the seeds, they are toxic.  Dosage is 3 berries per WEEK.  With that safety margin I probably wouldn’t make a tincture unless you dilute it to homeopathic strengths.  Any southern herbalists on the forum may have more information.

          Chickweed is well regarded as an herb for weight loss and is very safe.
