"Unlike many fibro
sufferers,my disease as
memory lapses and
"fibro fog."
At Mary's recommendation,
I started the teasel tincture
and followed the directions
very carefully. Within a
month, I noticed an
increase in my memory
and total dissipation of
the fibro fog! I was able
to think more clearly for
the first time in years,
motivating me to work on
my Master's paper.
My pain, which occurred
twice monthly, has reduced
to about once or twice a
year.
I highly recommend trying
the teasel tincture for
fibromyalgia, with this
caveat: naturopathic
remedies, unlike
synthesized pharmace-
uticals (filled with all
kinds chemicals to
expedite the process),
can take up to six weeks
before you experience
results, so be patient.
Trust that you are giving
your body the best treat-
ment you can give it.
Rest and be well..."

Lyme Disease: Beyond Antibiotics/
The Teasel Root Connection
written for Crescent Moon Herbals by C. Bashaw, RN and Senior Herbalist
(Copyrighted material. All rights reserved.)
As the warm weather begins to once again make its way into our life so does the threat of Lyme, a
tick-borne wickedness here in New England. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by a
"spirochete" (spirochetes are long, thin, spiral-shaped bacteria that have flagella or tails). In the
United States, the actual name of the Lyme bacterium is Borrelia burgdorferi. In Europe, another
bacterium, Borrelia afzelii, also produces Lyme disease.
A variety of ticks found on deer protect the bacterium in their stomachs; these ticks spread the Lyme
disease when they bite the skin, allowing the bacterium to infect the body. Lyme disease is not
contagious from one affected person to another, but is known to cause abnormalities in the skin that
begins with a characteristic rash, and may be followed weeks to months later by neurological, cardiac or
joint abnormalities as a result of this tick-transmitted inflammatory disorder. The spirochetes paralyzes
multiple aspects of the immune system; the organism is then without defenses against many microbes
which can cause secondary infections.
Modern medicine often treats this with antibiotic therapy, typically doxycycline (Vibramycin),
amoxicillin and/or cefuroxime axetil. The standard therapy of 4-6 weeks of antibiotic treatment is not
sufficient to treat chronic Lyme disease; the treating of long-term Lyme disease is often very expensive.
Traditionally insurance companies have disputed treatment due to that high cost. Chronic Lyme disease
is often a life-long illness.
It was 1975 when Lyme disease showed itself to the modern world through a group of children who
lived near each other in Lyme, Conn.; the children were originally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Further investigation of this remarkable grouping of infirmity led researchers to identify the cause as a
bacterial source of the children's condition, what was then termed "Lyme disease" in 1982. Lyme
disease has shown up most often in the northeastern United States, but it has been reported in all 50
states, as well as China, Europe, Japan, Australia and the parts of the former Soviet Union. In the
United States, it is mainly limited to the northeast from the state of Maine to Maryland, in the Midwest
in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in the west in Oregon and Northern California.
There are more carriers of Lyme disease than just the deer tick. There is a tremendous
misunderstanding regarding the vector or carrier that passes on Lyme disease. First of all, the familiar
tick vector called the deer tick (Ixodes dammini) and black-legged ticks (commonly called deer ticks,
Ixodes scapularis) are more prevalent and spreading wider than reported. Secondly, these ticks are not
the only vector able to transmit the Borrelia species. Several other tick species such as the Lone Star
ticks (Ammblyoma americanum), western black-legged ticks (Ixodes pacificus), and wood ticks or dog
ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) can transmit it too. Unfortunately, health officials to both the public or
medical community are not reporting this significant information. The widespread distribution of these
tick vectors greatly increases the prevalence of Lyme disease well beyond that of official government
reports. It is important to understand the potential danger of all tick bites, not only that from the deer
tick.
And though this article is not on how to diagnose Lyme disease, it is recommended that one find a
practitioner specializing in Lyme diagnosis and treatment.
A natural treatment, which can be safely used, adjunctively with modern antibiotic treatment, is the use
of Teasel Root. Teasel is a common name for some members of the Dipsacaceae, a family of chiefly
Old World herbs found mostly in the Mediterranean and Balkan areas but can range from India and to
South Africa. Species of Dipsacus and Scabiosa have become widely naturalized in America. Scabiosa,
commonly called sweet scabious, mourning bride, or pincushion flower (for its head of small, lacy
flowers) includes several ornamentals and was formerly used as a remedy for scabies.
Fuller's Teasel (D. fullonum) is a noxious biennial weed whose heads of small flowers bear sharp
prongs and have been used in the textile industry for teasing or raising the nap on wool. Teasels are
classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Dipsacales. The Chinese
Dipsacus japonica and Xu duan Dipsacus asperoids whose names mean “Restore What Is Broken”
truly sum up the powerful healing properties of this valuable herb.
The potential of using Teasel Root as a magnificent partner for individuals with chronic Lyme disease,
which is further, outlined in Matthew Wood’s book, “The Book of Herbal Wisdom”. Wood writes,
“After entering the body through a tick bite, the spirochetes burrow into the muscles where they settle
down to live. Here they produce chronic inflammation and pain, with destruction of muscles and joints.
People become like the broken-down ‘tertiary syphilitics’ described in old medical text books”.
When combined with prescribed antibiotics to treat the secondary infections, St. John s Wort to
heal the actual nerve damage produced by the infection, and Cat's Claw Bark to help with arthritis
symptoms, Teasel Root’s anti-inflammatory effects work on the spirochete’s damaging consequences
arresting the dis-ease process. (It is important to note that Teasel has also been successful in the
treating of Fibromyalgia, as well). Teasel root has also been effective in treating canines
diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Each herbalist has his or her own treatment remedy for using Teasel Root and I am no different. And
each remedy, though a little different, seems to work. Remember, for each Lyme disease diagnosis
there will be an equal number of unique results, so before starting a regime of Teasel Root consult
a qualified herbal practitioner for an individualized appropriate, and most of all successful treatment.
