I love that we're watching generational medicine happen right before our eyes. Truly a lovely miracle in this day and age. Thank you for sharing your videos.
@@csolar5052 I dug some in July but didn't make any but , first I'm a Follower of Jesus, last night and all morning I was given a dream. I hadn't thought about poke weed for months, now believe me or not but this dream lasted all night. It was so real I went out and dug a couple VERY big roots. In the dream everyone was so sick and nothing worked and I kept pushing off useing poke weed but finally in my dream I made it and said make more then you need. I remember exactly where it grew and the ones came up first was the big ones they cut easy so I was looking for this video I watched months ago to help me and my wife make some. I'm watching all I can and reading all I can but I "NEVER" dismiss a dream like that maybe with cv and ????? I pray I never need it but if I do I believe the roots I have will hold as much medicine as they can being its January and they are full of liquid I use gloves but I pray it worked for you
You are a treasure to us, especially at this time, 2024. I have a pokeweed root on my back porch waiting to be made into a tincture. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge to the world. I will make the tincture and save it for family and friends for any emergency that might come along that needs thisyou, dear lady.
I am so happy I did come across your Channel. I just never knew there were still people out there, my aunt and I when I was younger used to chat about tinctures and she taught me about them how to respect them and how to take care myself with natural medicine, they will take care of you, respect them and they will return the favor. I just love you April keep on tincture....in😷🤕. I've bottled many to care for my family. But having to read again so not to forget because of my illness, your channel bring back memories of my long-gone aunt & learning from her.
I am slowly making more and more tinctures and learning form you. I have watched this video 3 times . I want to make sure before I gather my first and probably only root. Thank you April for giving me confidence to fullfull a dream of mine.
I am in my 50"s and just found out my Grandmother was an herbal healer. While she was alive we didn't speak the same language so I missed out on conversations and learning. So I am glad I came across this. I hope to watch more of you videos and learn some what was lost generationally.
You’re little hand gestures and laughs in this video are adorable April! Always a pleasure to watch you and to learn about plant medicines from such an amazing woman
I’m so happy that I found your channel. Last year we had one…only one… poke weed. Then I lost track of it and was so sad. This year we have about eight that have pooped up. I’m going to flag them this weekend so I can find them this winter.
So happy "just one drop a day for a week" was mentioned. I have lymphedema and finally plan on making this tincture next month. I honestly would have started with 3-5 drops! Very greatful for this vid❤
@andreat8891 Sorry for the long response. I've honestly been a bit manic lately, so I'm waiting for that to end first. I have the tinture strained, and I'll let you know when I've tried it for some time.
@prudentroots6194 After taking poke consistently for about 5 months, I did have improvement on the size and hardness of my lymphedema. The effects it had on my mental health were bad, but that's just me.
I'm in my 60s now. And my grandparents raised us on their farm and every spring we always went poke hunting. Papa always taught us that we only pick it in the spring and it couldn't be any taller than say 13 -15". I absolutely loved eating it then and now I take my grandchildren Polk hunting. My grandmother said that it was a blood detoxer for the springtime. But they never made mention of the roots. Thank you so much for all that you do. I will definitely be making the tincture
wow that was some useful info. my grandma used to make it for us and I've just recently rediscovered poke but had no plans to cook it so I pulled it up and tossed it.... not again, I won't... now that I read your comment, I realize it was waaaaaay too tall to eat anyway! lol
Please, please do more videos on the baneful plant allies! I love and appreciate your videos so much. I totally understand WHY you don't do many videos on plants like poke. However, there are those of us who are smart enough to do our research and need these stronger plant allies for our own families, especially these days😒 Thank you beautiful soul💚
Love listening to you ramble. Also I love listening to you talk to people so that they understand to take care. I'm 54 years old and I've been doing this just like you've been doing it for years. I was really overwhelmed by all of the people taking these $1,000 classes. Keep it going sister keep it going much love!
She is correct about the cutting the root. I cut up poke root and rubbed the root juice over my hands for an hour. I was sick than a dog for 24 hours with massive headache and confusion. I cut poke root and filled a 1/2 gal jar and topped with water. I let it set for 8 weeks. I then strained the water into a pan. I slowly cooked off the water, never letting it boil, which took most of the day. I ended up with a black tar like paste. I put it in a 1/2 pint jar in the freezer. I use it topically for skin problems. It works great. I had a spot on my neck that would never heal, tried all kinds of meds and nothing worked until I put poke on it. Thinking about trying the poke in the everclear. You said 1 drop per day, correct???? I also eat the berries, caution: I swallow the seeds but do not crush them. I did that once and that was all it took. Do not crush seeds. When ripe, I eat 10-20 berries a day from the plant growing in my back yard. I made a sweet syrup out of them. I put just a bit in my tea.
I really LIKE your presentation, your info, & that you are so serious about taking this plant medicine with care. I also love you call her She. THANKS!
I absolutely love your posting!! I am fairly new at this but believe in it with all my heart. Not knowledgeable enough to call myself safe. I so much thank you for all the cautionary words you have to share in the basic explanation of how and why things work the way they do. I started my first 10 sure years ago with black walnut. Marvelous! I have made your Hawthorne berry tincture and the polk root tincture - and I’m waiting now. I have friends about me who are advising different dosages and I can always come back to you for what I feel is right and safe! Blessings to you dear lady! May God prosper all you do!
I just found you and thank you so very much for sharing your great wisdom. I am truly just enchanted by your spirit . Its just amazing how much I have learned. Thank you my sister.
Thanks for sharing this information. It is good to know that in this day and age with so much mis-use of Antibiotics there is something that could save us from the viruses that have mutated past the known antibiotics that traditional medicine has available to fight them off. I believe I would like to have a small store of this powerful ally for myself and my closest friends and family.
Just discovered your site. Love your simple, casual, interesting technique. I'll be tuning in often. Am excited to go back into your past files to see what you've already offered. Looks to be plenty for me to soak in and ck out. Peace and blessings from the Ozarks
Great video! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and putting an emphasis on how dangerous (yet affective) this particular plant is. Much love from the Midwest 💖
Thanks for pointing me towards this earlier today. It’s been very helpful! We have a ton of poke on our property. I’ll probably make a small amount of tincture with a huge note on my label warning about only 1 drop at a time. Thanks again!
I just found your channel, and I am *extremely* into your vibe. Thanks for this awesome video. I appreciate particularly the words of caution around this powerful plant 🌱
I was just getting more aquatinted with Poke, writing up my own monograph, planning a harvest and then up pokes your video! Nice to see this before I make some medicine. Thank you :)
Hello! I just found your channel and I am already a huge fan. I'm so grateful for the time you take to share your knowledge. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all you do. I just wrote Poke off as poison and never even considered her for medicine. You have helped me gain confidence using herbs myself.
This was excellent information. I’m making my poke root extract and a poke salve. My grandma used to make it and she put it in all my cuts. I really missed having it. Thank you for this video is was very helpful. 🙏🏻❤️
I knew about poke salat, using the berries for ink/dyes, but never knew about the roots. Glad to know there is an option for a last ditch hail Mary need with her!
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have Poke growing on my property. I really wish I had Elderberry, but it's Poke. I'm going to mark one once she produces berries, so I can dig up some of the root and make this tincture next winter. Thanks again. I've subscribed.
In Tennessee we're covered up with poke. The only thing I've ever done with it is cook the leaves in the spring as a green. I didn't know anything like this could be done. I'll store this information and I thank you for it. It would be a last resort for sure since I make colloidal silver. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Blessings!
I just love you girl. when things come to an end and we all wake up n start living im headed your way to barter my skills with your skills. love u so much
I found your video. Thank you for this. I’ve learned so much from you. Please keep making videos about herbal medicine.😊 I just made my first poke root tincture. Thank you.
Excellent info! That invasive weed has quite some power 😉 I found the birds eating very few berries, they hung all winter 3 years ago. Now I cut the berries off before they ripen, I love the blossoms, they are pretty. Though I love your videos a LOT, impromptu posting is just fine 😎
I. LOVE. YOUR. VIDEOS! Leaving a comment to boost your channel... aaaannnnnd.... considering the times we're living in... I'm wondering how much of this you've tinctured to combat allthethings going around right now. Big hugs. Thanks for being smart enough to teach me that I'm smart enough.
I love that we're watching generational medicine happen right before our eyes. Truly a lovely miracle in this day and age. Thank you for sharing your videos.
amen
Just learned of pokeweed after my wife's battle with cancer. Amazing where God can lead those who seek knowledge. Amazing presentation.
did it help her?

Fenbendazole & Ivermectin are curing cancers too. Yes they are animal wormers.
I wish I knew that it could have helped my mom
Thank you. My grandmother charred her poke root and covered it with corn liquor. She used it for arthritis.
I took 5 drops of poke root. About 3 hours later I was passed out cold. Heavy narcotic effect. I weigh 160. Caution advised. Powerful medicine.
Thank you for speaking caution at length about this herb. Too many times content creators gloss over the seriousness of using herbs in general.
When I saw those locs, I knew she meant business...
On it! Much respect...to you and poke root
This comment took me out. But she is for real, though.
💗
Same. Gems like her are so exciting to find!! Learning so much.
Love this information thank you
