Question: What's the potency of a homemade Phytolacca tincture made in a mayo jar with vodka.? drops to use 4 wgt loss.?
Answers:
That depends on what species of Phytolacca you are using, what part of the plant you're using, whether the plant parts were fresh or dried, the herb to alcohol ratio you used, and how long the tincture was left to macerate.
The Phytolacca tincture I make is a 1:2 ratio (which is a standard ratio for making tinctures), meaning that I use 1 gram of the fresh root or berry per ml of alcohol. Herbs should macerate for at least 6 weeks to reach a proper potency.
For weight loss, the berries of Phytolacca are used in homeopathic preparations to the third potency. To reach the third potency you would take 1 part of your 'mother tincture' and add it to 9 parts water or alcohol. Then take 1 part of the resulting liquid and add it to 9 parts water or alcohol. Then take 1 part of that resulting liquid and add it to 9 parts water or alcohol to dilute it for the third and last time.
Of the resulting third potency, the standard recommended dosage would be 10-20 drops 3x daily.
Poke 'root' tincture is not recommended for weight loss, but rather in the treatment of acute and chronic infections, auto-immune disorders, tumors, cysts and cancer.Health Question & Answer

The potency can vary greatly depending on how much Poke root was put in and how long the tincture matured. Typical dose from fresh root gathered in winter, 1 part root to 10 parts 45% alcohol, macerated 8 days, is 3 to 10 drops daily. Do not take more than 8ml per week, max. I would say 3 drops for 100 lb. adult and up to 10 drops for 150+.Health Question & Answer
