teasel and herxing

so i started teasel yesterday evening after consulting with people at the community pharmacy and reading a book by wolf storl called healing lymes disease naturally. i figured i can try out some supplements/herbs while waiting to see the LLMD. i put 5 drops in a glass of water before dinner (dosage varies from 3-30/40drops given 3 times a day). i chose to start at 5 and each day add a drop until i get to 30 and then taper down (this was one approach recommended in the book). within 2 hours of taking the teasel i started feeling really awful in my head- burning sensation, nausea, head pressure, just terrible! my body felt tingly and weird. could the teasel have started working in such a short time? and at such a small dosage? i am small and thin, i dont know if i feel drugs and supplements more than others because of this. but could this have been some type of a herx? im not on antibiotics for lymes. i also woke up today achy. just curious. my plan is to continue the teasel treatment for a month at least
also i plan on drinking lemon water, detox tea, starting to drybrush and hot baths. any recommendations of other detox methods while i try out teasel? thanks!

You should have started with one drop at a time and build up slowly. This is strong stuff.

i have not been able to see my LLMD yet so that is why i started with the herbs- i went to the homeopathic community pharmacy in my city and talked at length with a few workers there who have been to workshops on lymes, studied the herbs etc. i also read the book by wolf storl before i started the teasel and did some research. i will keep the dose down until i talk to my LLMD.

im also going to start a detox diet and the baths recommended here on the forum in the meantime. i wont add in any more herbs or treatments until i see the LLMD.

another question- do different teasel tinctures have different strengths? i have the "Herbalist/Alchemist Sichuan Teasel Dried Root" and on the bottle it says a serving size is 30-40 drops(1.5-2mL), which i would find outrageous if many say that even 5 drops is too much. could the teasel i purchased be weaker?
