Lyme Disease, Co-Infections, & Herbs

Insightful – Practical – Transformative

Gain the insight, wisdom, and confidence you need to face Lyme and its co-infections with strength and hope.
 

Transforming Lyme through plant wisdom.

In Traditional Western Herbalism as well as intuitively, we know that Lyme and its co-infections influence nearly every system of the body.
Since Lyme disease was first identified, our understanding of tick-borne illnesses has grown to reveal a far more complex picture than a single pathogen. Lyme is often accompanied by multiple co-infections, making it both challenging to diagnose and complicated to treat.

These infections affect not only the immune system but also energy, mood, cognition, and long-term vitality. Symptoms may come and go in cycles, leaving many searching for both clarity and effective support.

In this class, Matthew Wood and Phyllis D. Light share their clinical experience and wisdom, weaving together science, story, and soul to make sense of this tangled web. They explore the ecology of ticks, the patterns of symptoms, and herbal strategies that support the body’s terrain—providing both immediate tools and deeper insight into care for chronic illness.
