Mandrake Root [1 oz.]

Mandrake Root (Podophyllum peltatum)

The Mandrake Root, or Podophyllum peltatum, is an herb native to the New

World.

Podophyllum peltatum is found growing in parts of northeastern North America

and has been used medicinally for hundreds of years. Mandrake Root is sometimes

called the umbrella plant, because of its similar appearance to a closed

umbrella when it first appears each spring. The plant itself grows to about a

foot in height and then spreads out. Mandrake Root will produce a fruit,

however it is rather unsavory, and not very tasty to consume. Mandrake Root Cut

and Sifted, consists of the dried rhizome and connected roots. As with all

herbal remedies, be sure to consult with doctor before beginning a regime of

use.

Warning: Not to be used during pregnancy. Not for use except under the
