Our Tick-Borne Illness Support Formulas
All of our tick born illness related support formulas were co-created with Alexis Chesney, MS,ND, Lic. Ac and based on Stephen Buhner's research. Dr. Chesney has written an informative essential guide on effective strategies for lessening the impact of Lyme disease and other tick borne illnesses. Buhner has several books that offer an in depth study of working with tick borne illness with herbs, most notably his book Healing Lyme.

Tick Bite Care Info
Stay calm. Use a tick spoon, tweezers or your fingers; slide under the tick or gently grip, slowly and firmly lift and pull back.
Safely Remove Tick
Wash thoroughly. Clean with alcohol or alcohol based extract. The bite will likely swell and redden. It is likely to itch.
We recommend Andrographis applied topically for after bite.
Clean Bite Site
Save the Tick. Early detection is key to effective management of Lyme and other Tick-borne illnesses. Not all ticks carry disease. A lab can put worry at ease. They will identify the type of tick, if they’ve fed, and determine what diseases the tick was or was not carrying.

Preventing Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases
Understanding Biofilm and Serrapeptase:
All bacteria, including those responsible for Lyme disease and other tick borne diseases, produce biofilm. Biofilm is a protective substance created by colonies bacteria to support their survival. Biofilm contributes to bacteria’s ability to resist treatment by staying hidden. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme with a researched history of helping to break down biofilm, supporting the efficacy of anti-microbial treatments. In her book, Dr.Alexis Chesney lists Serrapeptase as a “biofilm buster.” For this reason Serrapeptase is often added to the treatment protocol for Lyme. We stock the Nutramedix brand that Dr. Chesney recommends.
