Black Walnut Hull and Cloves should be taken along with the wormwood.
are all good antiparasitics as long as they contain those 3 ingredients. FYI, getting rid of parasites is not a one shot deal.
There is lots of info in the archives here. Type Lyme and parasites into the search bar for more info.

Nature's Answer has a Black Walnut Complex that was very good. It has wormwood & it's only about $10 for a jar of 90 caps.
I found it at the local vitamin shop.
You know I'm just looking at the bottle & I noticed that they must have taken out the cloves... Oh well. It's still good stuff.
They must have changed the formula or maybe I was taking a different blend by Nature's Answer that had cloves...?
Sweet Annie (artemisia annua) is also a form of wormwood. It has beneficial properties against Lyme & co-infections, too.

Be aware that wormwood can be constipating for some people. It certainly was for me, and many of the formulations and protocols out there do not contain anything to help move things out of you.
Just be aware of that before you start on any product, and be ready to supplement with some kind of laxative for the short term, if needed.

Have a pinch of epsom salt ready. In fact, probably go ahead and take a pinch of epsom salt with each meal.

Wormwood is the main ingredient of Artemisinin. Art kills Babesia and other parasites when taken w/other abx.

There are different types of wormwood. You have to check for the specific Latin name to know if your are taking Artemisia for Babesia as opposed to Absinthe.
Sometimes wormwood is also know as Sweet Annie. This is a different kind than the Artemisia that you would use for Babesia. Do some searching on Google to find more info.
I'm too tired to list references right now.
