Today I am back with one of my herbal teachers to talk about herbal and holistic approaches to managing Lyme disease. It is a topic that is becoming ever more relevant as the medical community has been coming to the realization that there is such a thing as chronic Lyme, where acute measures such as antibiotics fall short.
This is where herbal support can really shine in helping to peel back the layers that are causing disharmony and reestablish a healthy foundation for health.
