Using an herbalist:
A local herbalist can talk to you about all your needs, and create a protocol tailor-made for you.
There is a fee to meet and talk and then a fee for the herbs. Please look for a certified herbalist in your area.
Don’t forget about Teas:
Check out our section on Lyme- Tea.
Does making your own capsule or tincture sound like too much for you? Does it require fine motor function that would be difficult for you due to your condition? Is using a herbalist not an option for you? Try Tea! Check out our section on Lyme- Tea. Simply put; you would want to find a loose tea distributor in your area that has a selection of medicinal blends of teas to try. Sometimes if they do not have the perfect blend, they can create one for you. They will charge by the oz. You can fit a lot of good stuff into one tea!!!!
