Learn About Treating Lyme Disease Naturally

by Enid Hinton

A serious health problem identified in 1975 has become one of the most well-known illnesses today. Once diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis, this tick-borne disorder named after the town in Connecticut where it was first identified affects millions all over the world. <A href="http://www.lymeaidegm.com/">Treating Lyme disease naturally</A> has become a well-regarded way to alleviate symptoms and stop progressive harm to health and well-being.

Medical doctors use a blood test to diagnose this problem. The test may reveal the presence of spirochetes, bacteria-like organisms which carry this disease. However, spirochetes are uncannily adept at hiding, and the test may not always be definitive. This causes many people to turn to herbal means of fighting the problem. Herbals require no prescription, and most have no harmful side effects if used correctly.

The herbal products that seem to combat this illness are immune-system boosters. If the disorder is not present, no harm is done, since boosting immunity is beneficial in any case. One widely-used herb is cat's claw, a tropical plant found in South America. It is available in liquid extract or in capsule form.

People with arthritis have used this herb for centuries to alleviate joint pain. It contains some active ingredients that are not helpful in treating Lyme's. For this reason, people who would like to try it for this particular illness should look for a special preparation, designed specifically to treat Lyme's.

Even those who have had a medical diagnosis of Lyme's may want to use an herbal approach. Doctors generally prescribe high does of antibiotics; if the problem has gone undetected for months or years, antibiotics may be prescribed for extended periods. This approach seems to work best on those recently infected; people who have had the problem longer may find that antibiotics are not a definitive cure.

Many people don't like the idea of taking antibiotics at all, much less for a long period of time. Some consequences of long-term use include yeast over-growth and consequent skin problems, as well as lowered immunity. Other people may want to follow an initial course of antibiotics with an herbal product, to get the benefits of both. This method may be effective against spirochetes which lie dormant in internal organs until the antibiotics are gone from the system and then emerge to cause further problems.

There is also a North American herb which has shown itself effective in alleviating symptoms of Lyme's. This is teasel, a common roadside weed. It looks like a thistle when blooming, and the dried seed pods resemble small pineapples. Teasel can be bought online from herbal companies. It can also be harvested from waste lands. The roots should be dug in November, cleaned, and chopped. They should then be soaked in vodka for six weeks. The liquid is drained off and used as needed. Dosage guidelines can be found online or on product labels.

Ignoring Lyme's is unwise. The effects worsen over time, resulting in arthritic complaints, higher risk for Alzheimer's, tremors, skin problems, and damage to the heart and nervous system. Mosquitoes, fleas, and horseflies may also spread the disease.
