Red root for swollen lymph nodes

by | Apr 29, 2012 | Columns, cowden herbs, Healing Lyme, Herb Reactions, Herbs, other, red root | 4 comments

Dear Stephen,
I tried samento and banderol and I noticed that with this treatment my lymph nodes become swollen. I also tried cat’s claw alone and under this treatment I feel some heat in the lungs and in the spinal cord. Are these reactions good or bad? Thanks.
Stephen’s response:
Not sure what to say on this one. However, if your lymph nodes become swollen that means that there is a buildup of contents in that system. The use of red root will help this a lot. Usually this happens as the body is killing off bacteria and viruses and it routes them through the lymph system for disposal, sometimes it is just an infection in the lymph system itself. I always use red root for this. Not sure what to say about the heat you mention.

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.

    Stephen, I am also dealing with the swollen lymph glands, and am currently on the Cowden Protocol. I would like to try to treat the lymph glands with Red Root, which I have. Can you please tell me correct dosage? Thank you.

  2. Sean O'Donnell

    Yes..what is the dosage for red root for swollen lymph nodes please?

  3. Lucy

    what is preferred dosage and form of red root for swollen lymph glands? Ie tea? Tincture? I believe my swollen congested lymph is a result of die off off bacteria and virus as you say above.

    As all overseas herbs entering Australia are irradiated, have you any idea if that prevents the herb being effective? I guess if no one knows I’ll have to try for myself and find out ! But any observations or thoughts on that from your experience would be appreciated all the same

    Hello, I’ve read a few questions on here where Stephen mentions that for Red Root you should take tincture. Found from these threads:
    https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/basics/lyme-protocol/ (where he states “The red root should be taken as a tincture, not a pill”)
    https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/bartonella-infection/
    there are also a few other threads where he mentions the use of red root specifically tincture, and a few others where he doesnt specify.

    About the dosage I found a question where in the response he says that he would use in the range of 15-30 drops 1-3x per day for the red root tincture
    https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/basics/translating-tincture-dosages/

    but as he always says, you have to pay attention to what effect its having on your body and if you need to increase or decrease dosage.

    Hope that can help, I’m aware that he will not likely be replying to these threads so I try to give a rough idea from what he’s said in other threads.
    About irradiation I have no idea! Maybe some Australian herbalists will uncover some native plants over there as well, that would be nice!
