This is the original Poke Root Castor Salve — crafted from fall-harvested poke roots grown beyond organically on our Missouri farm. We hand-harvest properly sized roots at the right season, carefully replant the crowns, and air-dry the roots indoors to preserve their full potency. Unlike commercial methods, our roots are never water-soaked or sun-dried, ensuring their complete herbal goodness remains intact. The roots are slowly macerated in castor oil. Jars are turned daily, allowing the oil to move gently through the roots for full extraction. The result? A powerful, silky salve that feels rich on the skin while absorbing smoothly. Traditional Uses of Poke Root Castor Salve

• Relieving breast pain or tenderness

• Supporting cyst reduction

• Under-eye care (applied gently)

• General soothing of areas needing softening or shrinking

Pro tip: For best results, pair with gentle heat. Apply salve, then cover with a flannel cloth and place a hot water bottle on the area. Alternatively, warm a washcloth before application to enhance absorption. Why Castor Oil (Instead of Olive Oil)? Most salves are made with olive oil, but castor oil has unique properties:

• It penetrates deeply without clogging pores

• Provides its own soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits

• Creates a rich satin feel

If you prefer a salve with a bit of sunflower seed oil to make it lighter, see our alternate listing.

I have a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurative. It is a very painful and disfiguring condition. Doctors don't have a cure just pills, poisons, and surgeries I can't afford. My mom brought me some of your Poke root salve to try after it helped my dad with his HS.  I am so glad she did. It's the ONLY thing i treat my HS with now. When a sore starts popping up I apply the salve. I get immediate pain relief and In three days it's open and drains completely. It can take a couple weeks for a big one to completely heal but it heals instead of just draining and hurting all the time for months to years. I cannot go back to life without it. Nothing can ever happen to you because I really CAN NOT go back to the way things were. It was no good going through life without help or a cure. At least now I can treat it and win the battles. Thank you for your healing salve." With much love for your Butterfly Medicine, Tracy Smith *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
