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 with a touch of sunflower seed 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 WITHOUT a bit of sunflower seed oil, see our alternate listing.

• Apply generously to breasts, lumps, or target areas as needed

Testimonial: "Your Poke Root Salve is amazing! 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
