Herbalist & Alchemist
Overview
Poke root has a long history of traditional use, particularly for lymphatic support. However, its efficacy is not supported by robust clinical evidence. Most of the current research is preliminary, with anticancer and immunomodulatory effects observed primarily in in vitro and animal models. Due to the lack of human studies, its effectiveness in practice remains largely unproven.
