• Clove – Strong antimicrobial activity effective against many different microbes. clove oil is both an analgesic and an antiseptic. You may recall the smell of clove oil from your dentist office. It is particularly effective against borrelia and bartonella coinfections (See Schaller’s book “The Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Bartonella” where he talks about clove oil as one of the main herbal remedies for bartonella). Clove oil has an ORAC value of over 1 million, which is extremely high. ORAC or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is a measure of free radical inhibition. Clove truly is the #1 oil for Lyme and some co-infectants.
   

   

• Oregano, Thyme, Marjoram – all of them are strong antimicrobials in the same family, effective against fungal and bacterial infections. Its recommended to identify the best suited from this family via muscle testing.

• Frankincense – A muscle relaxant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulant in one, Frankincense is one of the most popular essential oils used for curing Lyme disease. Basically, it reduces the inflammation of the affected parts and contributes to the control and regulation of immune-system reactions. Mixing it with 2 drops of oregano and coconut oil for topical application on the feet during the day is an innovative way to continue your treatment without bothering others with the smell. Internally, take 2 drops of this essential oil each day, which you can combine with clove, lemongrass, and helichrysum for better results.Frankincense helped me quite a bit with tendon and muscle inflammation as well as joint pain. I used it mostly externally but it can be taken internally too, although its a bit hard on the stomach. Often it is better to ingest as Boswellia capsules. Myrrh also strengthens the immune system, is very good as a mouth wash for sores and also works well for Candida.

• Rose, Geranium, Lavender and Rosemary oils act as a quorum sensing disruptors, which means they inhibits communication between borrelia themselves and other bacteria, making it harder to coordinate when to become active again and start the next reproduction and expansion wave. Eucalyptus has also some of these quorum sensing properties as well as Lemon. Lemon oil has also strong antimicrobial properties and stimulates the Lymphatic system. Some further info on the use of oils for quorum sensing can be found in PubMed.
