After the Bite Protocol Pack

Root and Leaf Holistic offers a natural approach to early tick‑bite support. This protocol is meant to

begin right after a bite occurs. It may help the body respond to infection, while the essential oil roller

and black salve can help draw toxins from the skin. Use for no longer than four weeks, followed by a

three‑month break. It cannot guarantee prevention of tick‑borne illness, but it includes herbs often

chosen for this purpose. Always check with your healthcare provider before using any natural remedy.

Black Draw Salve: Clean the bite, apply black draw salve, and cover overnight. Rinse in the morning. Repeat for 5–7 days.

After the Bite Roller: several times a day to help calm the area.

Why these herbs?

Astragalus Root: This herb is primarily employed for "tick preparedness," as it is believed to

enhance immune resilience by providing protection to deep bone marrow in the early stages of

exposure. It aids the immune system in recognizing and combating infections; however, it is

generally not recommended for use during later, chronic stages of infection.

Andrographis Paniculata: Renowned in herbal medicine for its strong antimicrobial properties,

this herb is effective against tick-borne bacteria and may help limit the proliferation of such

bacteria if they have entered the body.

Cryptolepis Root: Recognized as a potent antimicrobial, studies have demonstrated its

significant activity against Borrelia burgdorferi (the causative agent of Lyme disease).

Remarkably, it has the ability to eliminate dormant, persister forms of the bacteria that standard

antibiotics may fail to eradicate.

Usnea (a type of lichen) is utilized following a tick bite due to its suspected antimicrobial and

anti-inflammatory properties. It is specifically aimed at reducing the risk of infection and mitigating

the impact of potential pathogens, such as Borrelia.

Black Draw Salve: used after a tick bite to naturally draw out potential toxins, bacteria, and

residual saliva left by the tick.

Clove, Eucalyptus, and Cinnamon Essential oils: Some studies suggest these oils

(specifically cinnamon and clove) may have strong antibacterial properties against persistent

forms of bacteria that cause diseases like Lyme
