Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is spread to humans by the bite of a deer tick that carries the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Antibiotics are the only known effective treatment for Lyme disease. There are not enough high-quality clinical trials to evaluate “natural” or other alternative “cures” for Lyme disease, such as oxygen, energy, nutritional, or herbal therapy or essential oils. These therapies haven’t been shown to be effective, and some may be harmful. https://bit.ly/3bcDtMi #LymeDisease #IntegrativeHealth
