Art Therapy Gallery January 2025

Project Lyme believes in the power of community and storytelling to raise awareness about tick-borne diseases. While sharing your story can be helpful for the general public to better understand your struggle, it can also be a great way to begin the healing process. More specifically, we encourage you to leverage art to convey the deeper meaning words cannot always touch. We have compiled a gallery with several pieces of impactful artistic expression with the hope it will reach outside the community to bring understanding, and inside the community to bring hope and healing.

The greater the microbe stress, the stronger the antimicrobial properties. While there are many herbs and medicinal mushrooms that could be considered for treating chronic Lyme disease, expert naturalist Dr. Bill Rawls provides a list of the best-suited choices for Lyme.
