Hello everyone. For three months I have been struggling with terrible joint pain and a meat allergy (I can't eat because I immediately get sick). Can anyone give me some advice, energy work that might help. Unfortunately I can't go to the doctor. I probably have to completely forget about alcohol ,coffee, sugar etc. Regards, thank you in advance for your help.
When was this diagnose made? About Lyme disease.
It's not something, at least that I am aware of, that can be treated by herbal remedies alone.
You need anti-biotics to fight the bacteria that play part in this disease.
Inflammation is a natural response of the body to fight off any infections. Listing something here that would mess with how the immune system works (in example, lower the amount of cytokinen, which would be preferable in case of allergies) would be inappropiate.
I looked through my books and found the following herbs listed:
Dipsacus fullonum and Tropaeolum majus [Het Kruidenboek van Ingrid - Ingrid Kropf] (Listed as anti-biotic and clearing, to be applied when there is case of a long term infection.)
"Generally supportive" - Allium Sativum (garlic), Lentinula edodes (Shii-take), Olea europaea (olive), Origanum compactum (essential oil), Spilanthes oleracea (Pará cress / Toothache plant / Eyeball plant), Tabebuia spp. (Pau d' arco / Ipe roxo), Uncaria Tomentosa (this one lower the cytokinen and as a result the immune response)
[Groot Handboek Geneeskrachtige planten, 6e druk, Dr. Geert Verhelst]
Pará cress is listed as anti-microbial and then the main use would be mostly on the skin. It does list 'Borellia burgdorferi ' under anti-parasitic (fights against blood parasites), which causes the disease of Lyme.
In case of parasites, herbal treatments (or with essential oils) can even be toxic/harmful to the human body, so going to the doctor and get some proper medication is the preferred way to go.
Pau 'd arco is also listed as anti-microbial.
Reading through this list, even if you do start to eat things to boost vit C in your body, that'd already be helpful. Some of the herbs listed are easily available in the kitchen.
In example Tropaeolum majus, though not found in foodstores, seeds can be purchased, and depending on the climate, can grow quite well. It does not survive frost though. It just straight up dies. Grown in full soil, the plant can get quite big, and flowers, leaves, stems can be eaten.
I understand that some (if not all) of these listed might not be available to you at all, because of climate differences. In that case, you might be better off doing a search online.
Again, please do seek help from a medical practitioner.
