.. OT: Stephania Root - How is it used? Posted by: "sweetapple314" edithanne5@... sweetapple314 Date: Mon Jul 30, 2012 5:40 pm ((PDT)) from buhnerhealinglyme websiteStephania is a great herb used primarily in China and Japan. If someone presents with Bell's palsy, this is the herb to use. It is powerful for eye and ear involvement including balance problems. It is anti-inflammatory and considered to be as good as corticosteroids. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon three times daily may be recommended. With Bell's palsy, 1 teaspoon three times daily may be used. With eye and ear involvement, 1/2 teaspoon three times daily is used. Stephania is useful in treating peripheral neuropathy. The primary side effect is constipation which may balance out any diarrhea experienced from taking Cat's Claw. Stephania is contraindicated in those with AV block and has a number of drug/herb interactions that should be considered.

Many people with Lyme disease have neurotoxic involvement. Quinolinic acid is produced in the brain with Lyme disease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are also common in Lyme. Buhner primarily uses Japanese Knotweed for neurotoxins as well as 200-400mcg per day of selenium. Zinc picolinate at a dose of 20-30mg per day may be helpful. B complex helps with crawling sensations in Lyme at a dose of about 1000mcg per day.

For memory and brain fog, Japanese Knotweed and Eleutherococcus are helpful. For additional support, Vinpocetene at a dose of 10mg three times daily can be helpful. It may be useful when eye involvement is present such as severe floaters. Huperzine A at a dose of 50-100mcg twice daily often assists memory. If brain hypoperfusion is present, Ginkgo biloba may be used.
