Natural Treatments For Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by the bite from a black-legged ticks. Lyme disease is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States.
Symptoms may appear from four weeks up to several months after the bite. The sooner you treat tick-borne bacterial infections, the better. The antibiotic doxycycline may cure the disease for patients diagnosed early when given for 4-6 weeks.
Typically, immediate symptoms may include fatigue, fever, chills, headaches, joint/muscle pain, and a rash (though not everyone reports all of these symptoms). However, if not diagnosed, long-term effects of Lyme disease can cause fatigue, joint and muscle pain (particularly in the neck), sleep issues, cognitive disturbances or neuropathy, depression, cardiovascular effects (such as heart palpitations), depression, facial palsy, headaches, or possible miscarriage.
