The branches were taken in July, broken up and boiled for two to three hours in water, until the liquid looked like brown coffee. The liquid was decanted off and bottled without further treatment, but did not deteriorate over a long period of time. To use, the decoction was rubbed into the hair, which was simultaneously curled and dyed a brownish color. | Hocking, George M., 1949, From Pokeroot to Penicillin, The Rocky Mountain Druggist, November 1949.
