I would look to Stephen Buhner, he's a master herbalist. He has written books and also has a website.

Some people buy Buhner herbs as bulk dried herbs and combine them to make a Lyme tea. There are also several different Lyme teas based on Buhner herbs that are available. Dried herbs do tend to be cheaper than capsule, tinctures ir extracts.
I have one at the moment that I have mixed with knotweed, cryptolepis, boneset, pau d'arco, pine needle tea and some catnip for taste and detox, but you can use all sorts of combinations depending on your issues and needs.
This sort of approach is also helpful for those who want to avoid tablets and capsules.
In the UK the wild garlic is coming into leaf, so can be preserved for use either in frozen soups, as a tincture, a pesto frozen in ice cube trays.

- It all about combinations, rotations and knowing what is going on. Therefore, best to read all of Buhner's book on lyme & coinfections.
And Zhang's book is vital, too. Those links are here, among others. Best to be able to work with LL expert.
When considering herbal / nutritional / adjunct methods, because lyme is so very complex & unique, as are possible coinfections:
if at all possible - because each person & each case is different - it's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL ND (lyme literate naturopathic doctor) (or similar) who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present, and has completed the ILADS Physician Training Program (see: www.ilads.org )
so they really know all they can about the science of lyme . . . how lyme (& other TBD) act and what we can do about that in various ways. Proper ASSESSMENT of not just lyme but coinfectoins is vital. Someone trained by ILADS is best to assess.
Many LL NDs incorporate antibiotics (depending upon the licensing laws in their state). Some LLMDs and LL NDs have good working relationships.
When possible, it's great to have both a LLMD and LL ND and even better when they have a long-standing professional relationship.
For those considering complementary support methods / or other avenues entirely:
Herbal Safety considerations & reference books; etc.
BOOKS - Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
knowing which methods offer assertive & direct impact, which are only support and which are both. And when to use what, how to combine, & when to step back.
You can compare and contrast many approaches with links to articles, books, methods . . .
BODY WORK methods / links (and why anyone who works on your spine MUST be LL to the degree they at least know to never suddenly twist neck or spine. Never. Ever - not if there is inflammation in the spine with active infection. And that we should never be advised to do neck / head / shoulder stands.)
Links here to two major sources: Buhner, & Zhang. Be sure to get their books.

- When you find any article of importance:
copy & paste it in its entirety to a work page so you have that in your file in case that article might ever disappear from the web, as can happen.
Also, for some links that don't go through, copy & paste the title, cross searching with author's name and you may find it at a new link. -
