Does anyone know if artemisia has any affect on lyme? Every pulse I do of artemisia seems to bring out all my neurological lyme symptoms. Just wondering.

I think others who are more familiar with atdmesia will be along to share thoughts... but if you're flaring like that, which we would call a herx, that's a good sign that yes, the artemisinin is hitting the infection.

It has been shown to hit the cystic form of Lyme.

It also hits a host of other infections though.

Thanks Mustard Seed. I've only seen it being discussed as treatment for babesia and parasites. I'm taking cat's claw and azithromycin with it so maybe it is opening cysts. All I know is something is stirring up lymesad

Artemisia is generally used for Babesia...but it most likely hits other parasites.


It's possible you also have Babesia.

I haven't taken it in that form - but did rounds of Artemisinin...and also took some Artesunate for awhile.

It hit me pretty hard....

Interesting, I wonder how many of these antiparasitics have activity against lyme? I'm pretty sure alinia also has activity against borrelia round bodies. I've always responded to many of these meds, hard to say if it is hitting parasitic infections or lyme in my case. Ivermectin was another one I wondered about in those regards...
