Please Help! What in the world is "Phytolacca Berry's Mother Tincture?

Question

My cousin tells me she bought it from a herb store and that it is completly natural. Shes taking it for weight loss, especially in her mid section. She heard about it from some girl at her college who claims it works. I am worried for her because shes always trying something new. has anyone heard of this plant, and has taken it for weight loss and actually lost weight from it? Thanks.

Answer 1

In Homeopathic Medicine PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is prepared from the Berries of the Plant Phytolacca(Poke Root). You can pick this up at health food stores or homeopathic stores, also online.

I think the only true way to lose weight and lose your belly is exercise and a good diet... but you never know.

Answer 2

Mother Tincture is a homeopathic or herbal plant that could:

1. Be Illegal-In some countries. It's hard to obtain ecept through internet and the ones sold on the internet are not trustworthy.
and
2. Be dangerous- Usually shouldn't take it unless prescribed by a doctor for it could cause serious side effects.

I suggest you tell your cousin to stop. It can cause weight loss, but in a unhealthy and risky way.
