The poke root (Phytolacca americana) is a thick, fleshy root that grows from a North American herb. It is used mainly for its high iron content to help treat anemia, and it can act as a mild laxative; some people also use it for skin conditions or athlete's foot. Because the root contains anthraquinone glycosides and other potentially toxic compounds, it should be taken under professional guidance, avoided for long‑term use, and not used by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
