This is hardly mentioned in the Healing Lyme book, but discussed in other Buhner books like 'The Lost Language of Plants'. For fighting a highly invasive pest like ticks/borrelia, you use a highly invasive plant that occurs in the same spot. This is not modern science at all, but a common approach in herbalism (or medicine from pre-scientific societies). Knotweed seems to be the perfect choice to fight tick infections and surprise, surprise - it really has the chemistry to back up this choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
