I just added Artemisia into my protocol last night. It seemed to help already a tiny bit with the tight gripped up chest ( still not clear diagnosis, working on that). but I noticed my heart beating faster and louder all night, same thing this morning after another dose.
I randomly saw a post on another forum that mentioned that artemisia can speed up heart rate.
anyone have anything to say about that?

Also- has Artemisia been helpful for any of you with tight breathing form a co infection? how long did you take it for?

Also- what co infections are connected with a fast heart rate ( resting in the 90s)

Also- anyone use hawthorne to slow down heart rate? anything to say about that?

I took Artemisinin and for awhile Artesunate.
It didn’t affect my heart rate.

I’m wondering if it’s affecting your heart because the Babesia can affect your heart and this is a herx .

I take hawthorn because it’s goid for the heart/cardiovascular system.

I buy Wiodland Essence brand in tincture form. I also take coq10

yes the herx thing is always confusing and hard to figure out what is a herx or not! I have had the heart rate thing anyway but then justread one random post about it so wondered.
I have my video call with my good dr today- only for a 1/2 hour but I really hope I can get more clear of a diagnosis and treatment plan. It is a tall order for a half hour video call but so far he is the only dr who has ever helped me with the complex world of tick borne illness so I really hope he will.

I think I am gonna give the artemesia a try for a while.

Hmm, I also wonder given babesia's effects on the ANS if it is related to a herx to that medicine. Is there any way you can take smaller doses of the artemisia to see if that helps? But it's great that it seems to be helping with the chest symptom.

I think artemisia can be taken more consistently than artemisinin (which I've heard needs to be pulsed due to body chemistry). I took artemisia for a couple months in a row.

Yes, thanks for making that distinction. Artemisia (whole herb) can be taken without breaks...but Artemisinin should be pulsed....its thought that after prolong use of the Artemisinin - the small intestine creates an enzyme that renders the Artemisinin useless.
