Lyme Tea Recipe
This is the recipe for making a therapeutic tea that was distributed at the 2010 LIA (Lyme Induced Autism) Conference.THE TEA:
Put into one gallon water:
• Japanese knotweed 10g (increase dose slowly, 10g per week or so, up to 40g)
• stephania 20g (increase slowly up to 80g)
• sarsaparilla 10g (increase slowly to 40g)
• cat's claw 15g (increase slowly to 60g)
• red root 10g (can increase slowly to 30g)
OPTIONAL:
• Artemesia Annua 5g (increase slowly to 40g) use especially if suspicion of Babesia)
• Eleutherococcus Genseng at a starting dose of 10g can be helpful for fatigue, but it may be troublesome for some with chronic Lyme
Use a postal scale, there are inexpensive ones here: http://www.oldwillknottscales.com
An option is the MyWeigh Triton T2 with the calibration weight.
Combine herbs and 1 gallon of water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, then strain and pour into a wine bottle, glass bottles or use a glass iced tea jug w/spigot and store in the fridge.
General dosage guideline: about 3-4 ounces 3 times a day. This is not exact dosing- you can really go on symptoms, herxing, and symptom relief as far as dosage and so on. Symptoms flare up bad (Herx)- reduce dose for a while; not getting much progress- increase dosing.
ABOUT THE HERBS:
Get cut and sifted, not powdered - lasts longer and the tea is more palatable.
Can order the knotweed (Hu Zhang) and stephania (andrographis too) from http://www.1stchineseherbs.com
Can order the cat's claw, red root, sarsaparilla, eleuthero from http://www.mountainroseherbs.com
ABOUT THE RECIPE:
Dr. Jeff Wulfman of Connecticut distributed this recipe during his presentation. He said, "This is an anti-microbial/immune regulating medicinal herbal tea formula. It is based on Stephen Buhner's Healing Lyme book and his recommendations to treat chronic infections/tick borne illness/Lyme disease. Herbal healing is slower and more subtle, but perhaps more permanent, so be patient, it may take 3+ months for results."
