Hi, my name is Teresa. I have been an herbalist for the past decade. This year I was looking at my poke plant, and was she beautiful. I make tincture out of the root but thought why not out of the berries? I have an acupuncture practice also, and many of my patients are weiry of not biting the seeds of the berries. So I tinctured the berries. So far my patients report their arthritus is much better and there spirits have improved.
I am posting this so I can see if anyone else has tinctured the berries.
Thank you
Teresa Berger Dip. LAc. M.S.
I have been using the berries 40 a day for 6 mo I am 74 and have osteoprosis They are great . I gathered mine and froze them.

From what I am reading you can eat the berry but not the seed. Is this correct? Can Jelly be made from the berry?
