Clerodendrum inerme or Glory Bower plant

by | Nov 18, 2012 | Columns, Healing Lyme, Herbs, miscellaneous | 9 comments

Dear Stephen,
One of my friends who practices siddha medicine in India has suggested I try Clerodendrum inerme or Glory Bower plant. I would like to know your opinion on this. Based on the research paper below it says that it is effective against gram positive bacteria. How effective this will be for lyme and co-infections? I’m looking for a source to buy. Do you know where can I get this in the states? Here is the research paper. Here are the preparation steps.


Stephen’s response:
I am not up on that herb, so can’t really give much feedback on it. Sorry.
Stephen

  • Stephen Harrod Buhner

    Stephen Harrod Buhner was an Earth poet and an award-winning author of twenty-four books on nature, indigenous cultures, the environment, and herbal medicine including the acclaimed book Healing Lyme: Natural Healing & Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis & Its Co-infections.

    Stephen came from a long line of healers including Leroy Burney, Surgeon General of the United States under Eisenhower and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Lusterheide, a midwife and herbalist who worked in rural Indiana in the early nineteenth century. The greatest influence on his work, however, was his great-grandfather C.G. Harrod who primarily used botanical medicines, also in rural Indiana, when he began his work as a physician in 1911.

    Stephen’s work has appeared or been profiled in publications throughout North America and Europe including Common Boundary, Apotheosis, Shaman’s Drum, The New York Times, CNN, and Good Morning America. Stephen lectured yearly throughout the United States on herbal medicine, the sacredness of plants, the intelligence of Nature, and the states of mind necessary for successful habitation of Earth.

    He was a tireless advocate for the reincorporation of the exploratory artist, independent scholar, amateur naturalist, and citizen scientist in American society – especially as a counterweight to the influence of corporate science and technology.

“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.”

    Hello ~ There is an herbalist/medical astrologer named Ingrid Naiman who might be your best source of information on such questions about siddha medicine. Here is one of her websites:

    My 11 year old daughter has motor/vocal ticcing symptoms that our LLMD says are due to her lyme/bartonella infection. We are treating her at the moment with abx, and are also using several herbs recommended by Stephen Buhner. I have heard that C. inerme helps with ticcing. I would love to be able to find some.

    Hi Louise,

    Hope you are ok.

    Regarding Clerodendrum Inerme, were you able to get it for your daughter?

    We live in The Netherlands, Europe. It looks like I was able to import it for my son.

    Best,

    Richard

    Erin, in what form did you give it to him? I have seen a homeopathic remedy recommended, or dried leaves in a capsule. How did you prepare it?

    Hi hope I am not too late for this discussion. Can you recommend what is the best way? I saw how to make 30c potency in YouTube. Show I do that or just give him dried leave in capsule?
