Blurred/double vision

I am up to 5 drops of Stephania which is supposed to help the eyes. Can you guys tell me what you think made yours better? Is it Lyme or another co-infection causing this? Has anyone used Stephania as an eye wash and if so how is it prepared?

Stephen talks about making decoction. It's in his Healing Lyme book - this was in 2010, so it would be his first book...not the revised.

Unless...he also has it in his 2nd edition.

hi julymorning - we posted about the same time...lol

Hi Girlie! I actually just made a reference to you(and this group) to a fellow Canadian dweller, albeit Toronto. That someone is surprising responsible for spurring me to find my 'mojo' again.

Goshawk posted the information in a new thread - but in case you don't see it:


Stephania Herb powder
Buhner says:
I describe the decoction on page 152 of the Healing Lyme book, second paragraph. However you can make a smaller amount of an infusion, which is a bit less strong than the decoction, by putting two tablespoons of stephania in one cup of water, bringing it to a boil, then turning off the heat and letting it stand covered overnight. Strain the infusion the next day and use as eye drops as a wash in the eye. This is also best if accompanied by taking the tincture (also on page 152 of Healing Lyme) internally, 1/2 tsp 3x daily.

In Buhner's 2nd edition of "Healing Lyme" it's on page 380, and he only mentions it like this:

"Ocularborreliosis: 1/2 tsp 3x daily of the tincture, eye wash with the decoction daily."

He doesn't list how to make the decoction though.

That is what I read, too, Traveler.

Notymeyme, please keep us informed how the eyewash works
