with Stephen Harrod Buhner, master herbalist
I seem to have peaked betting better on traditional antibiotics treatment. I’m currently on tetracycline and amantadine which I plan on staying on for next several months. My lingering symptoms are persistent frontal HA/pressure and waxing and waning fog. I have no other known co-infectors, no known yeast issues. Any thoughts on which herb can be used safely with my current treatment to help to clear the fog?
Stephen’s response:
Knotweed, eleutherococcus tincture, huperzine A – in that order (though gingko may be of benefit in this particular instance).
