Herbal Remedies for Lyme Disease

Scott Kessman
Various herbal remedies for lyme disease exist. Lyme disease is a bacterial disease that stems from a spirochetal organism called Borrelia Burgdorferi, which the system usually comes across after getting a tick bite.

More and more people in America are getting prone to this disease and although it can easily be treated with the use of antibiotics in the early stages, it is sadly not often detected that early. One characteristic of lyme disease would be a bull's eye rash, though some patients never get this. Because a lot of symptoms exist that only exist from it later on, this disease can be hard to diagnose and medical tests are usually inaccurate when it comes down to them.

In general, lyme disease brings about poor blood circulation and lower body temperature. Patients might also get swelling, cysts and lumps all over their bodies, and this disease usually comes with tons of pain. Fortunately, there are herbal remedies for lyme disease out there. Chinese herbs like san qi or pseudoginseng, ru axing or Frankincense, mo ay or myrrh, for example, can alleviate blood stagnation and clear blood stasis - both of which are extremely helpful in such cases because they can improve body circulation and alleviate pain.

One highly debilitating symptom that comes with lyme disease would be fatigue. Some Chinese herbs that would be helpful with this particular symptom would be licorice, Siberian ginseng, schizandra and astraglus. Such herbs can improve your energy levels, digestion, and ability to deal with stress.

On the other hand, wolfberry, dong quai, and white peony can give you healthier blood and less fatigue while your brain functions will greatly improve with polygonum and eucommia. Chinese herbs like longan fruit, dragon bone, bupleurum, zyzyphus seed, oyster shell, and magnolia bark usually help with the anxiety, lack of concentration, depression, and sleeplessness that come with lyme disease.

This complicated illness may appear in various forms, which is why its victims usually run to Chinese herbal remedies for lyme disease to relieve their symptoms. Such herbs are helpful in treating the various aspects of this disease overall and even include holistic properties.
