According to prominent herbal protocols, such as the Buhner Protocol, taking astragalus helps the body mount a stronger defense against tick pathogens and co-infections before they can establish a foothold in the nervous system or joints. However, timing is critical: while it is highly recommended for tick bite prevention or early acute stages, herbalists warn that astragalus should generally be avoided in late-stage, chronic tick illness. This is because its powerful immune-stimulating properties can inadvertently aggravate the profound, complex autoimmune inflammatory responses that characterize advanced infections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Leaf Holistic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53372022456687,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/rootandleafholistic.com\/products\/astragalus","provider":"Root \u0026 Leaf Holistic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
