Lyme disease is an increasingly common problem. Difficult to both detect and treat, researchers are constantly searching for new approaches to Lyme. The complexity of Lyme, and antibiotic resistance has led to the use of antimicrobials, like essential oils.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Essential oils can help to both prevent Lyme disease and reduce the symptoms upon infection. They work by fighting bacteria, improving the immune system, and detoxifying the body. Antimicrobials kill bacteria, without allowing that bacteria to grow resistant to the substances used.
\n<\/span>
\nAntimicrobials and essential oils have both been around for centuries. They can fight against almost everything. Some people take essential oils for mental health concerns like depression and anxiety while others take essential oils for allergies and arthritis. The idea of using antimicrobials in essential oils to fight infection is not a new concept.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the benefits of using essential oils for treating Lyme disease is that evidence suggests antimicrobial oils like those found in the essential oils can\u00a0kill bacteria without causing<\/span>\u00a0resistance to it, unlike antibiotics. While different people will suggest different cures for Lyme and bacterial infections, some of the most common antimicrobial oils include:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Cinnamon Oil<\/span><\/h4>\n

Cinnamon oil can be a powerful essential oil when fighting bacteria. Studies have been published to show the effectiveness of cinnamon against the bacteria planktonic E. Faecalis. Studies have shown that cinnamon essential oils eliminated the growth of the bacteria between 7-14 days of the procedure. Additionally, the study concluded that\u00a0cinnamon essential oils are effective antimicrobial agents<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to use in antibacterial treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Thyme Oil<\/span><\/h4>\n

Thyme oil is an impressive antimicrobial oil. Studies took place at the University of Tennessee\u2019s Department of food technology and science showing\u00a0the impact of thyme oil<\/span><\/a>\u00a0against bacteria in Salmonella and milk. Similarly to cinnamon essential oils, thyme essential oil was placed upon the bacteria and the results of the study found that the \u201cnanoemulsions\u201d (essential oils) could be effective at protecting bodies against bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Oregano Oil<\/span><\/h4>\n

Studies show<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that oregano silver oil and colloidal silver can act as potent antimicrobials. These solutions work effectively against various strains of drug-resistant bacteria.\u00a0The research shows<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that combined and singular treatments these oils can limit cell density. This gives way to antimicrobial activities thanks to the disruption of cells. Ultimately, the results suggest that oregano oil may be an effective treatment in controlling infections.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Tea Tree Oil<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tea tree oil is another powerful solution designed to fight back against bacteria. This antimicrobial substance can be effective against various infections. Research conducted in India showed that tea tree oil combined with eucalyptus can fight staph and E. coli infections.\u00a0These studies suggest<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that an immediate effect occurs upon application. It can also have an ongoing impact from an antimicrobial perspective as well. The effects offer a slow-release healing process over a 24-hour period. This means that the oils continue to work within the body after the initial application.<\/p>\n

TREATING THE BRAIN WITH ESSENTIAL OILS<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are various elements involved in the treatment of Lyme disease with essential oils. One common approach begins with examining problems in the brain. As mentioned previously, untouched Lyme infections can quickly progress. Often, the result is mental and emotional responses that impact the memory and concentration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBrain Fog\u201d is a term given to people with Lyme who suffer from sluggish or reduced mental clarity because of the bacteria. Brain fog can be quite common amongst people infected with lyme and is commonly referred to as \u201ccognitive dysfunction\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The severity of this \u201cbrain fog\u201d varies greatly from case to case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Borrelia Burgdoferi can persist in the brains of\u00a0chronic Lyme sufferers<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s important to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Draining the brain by getting a significant amount of sleep can be one of the best ways to drain your brain. Sleep is the only time when the brain can drain glymphatic fluids. To aid this process, a drop of frankincense oil with a carrier like coconut oil or jojoba oil can be beneficial. Placing this mixture against the forehead and temple before bed. Frankincense has long been a powerful essential oil for brain treatment. It supports mood, improves focus, and reduces distractions.\u00a0It can also improve concentration<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reduce irritability and hyperactivity.<\/span><\/p>\n
