"Healing Lyme" by Stephen Buhner is an excellent resource for using herbs to combat Lyme disease. They can be used with or without antibiotics. Special care must be used when starting any Lyme treatment due to the possible severity of Herxheimer reaction. Also, the author emphatically states that the herbs should be ramped up slowly to allow for the GI tract to adjust.
The core protocol consists of:
- Andrographis paniculata
- Japanese Knotweed (Resveratrol)
- Cat's Claw
To resist infection: Astragalus
To minimize severity of Herxheimer: Smilax
