Cashmerian Pokeweed is a herbacious plant,
growing up to 2-4 ft tall. It has large
lance-shaped leaves, 16-24 cm, which are
long-pointed, and narrowed at the
base to a short stalk.
The root is antiasthmatic, antibacterial,
antidote, antifungal, antitussive,
diuretic, expectorant, laxative and
vermifuge. The plant has an interesting
chemistry and it is currently (1995)
being investigated as a potential
anti-AIDS drug. It contains
potent anti-inflammatory agents,
antiviral proteins and substances
that affect cell division.
These compounds are toxic to many
disease-causing organisms,
including the water snails that
cause schistosomiasis.
The root is used internally in the
treatment of urinary disorders, nephritis, oedema
and abdominal distension. Externally, it is
used to treat boils, carbuncles and sores.
The roots are harvested in the autumn
and dried for later use. All parts of the
plant are toxic, this remedy should be
used with caution and preferably under
the supervision of a qualified practitioner.
