Burbur Pinella
Our Burbur Pinella blend combines equal parts of Desmodium molliculum and Pimpinella anisum to support detoxification and help prevent Herxheimer reactions, which are often triggered when taking antibiotic medications or antimicrobial herbs.
This blend is particularly beneficial for individuals treating tick-borne infections like Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia, or Mycoplasma, though it can support detoxification during the treatment of any chronic infection.
Lyme patients, in particular, can benefit from this blend when struggling with detoxification challenges, brain fog, and inflammatory symptoms. It promotes overall detoxification, relieves discomfort, and assists in managing the difficult Herxheimer reactions commonly encountered during the treatment process.

INGREDIENTS
CLINICAL USES
| Herxheimer Reaction Support | Burbur is renowned for its ability to support detoxification and help manage herxheimer reactions (Herx), which can occur when toxins are released from dying pathogens during Lyme treatment. It helps reduce the toxicity burden during the healing process. |
| Supports the Liver & Detoxification | Burbur promotes liver health, aiding in the removal of waste and toxins from the body. This is essential in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease, where the liver may become overwhelmed due to the presence of pathogens and the use of various detoxifying treatments. |
| Reduces Inflammation | Pinella (Anise) is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm inflammatory responses that can be heightened in Lyme disease and coinfections. This can help alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and general discomfort. |
| Supports Cognitive Function | Pinella has mild neuroprotective effects and has been traditionally used to improve cognitive function and relieve brain fog, a common symptom of Lyme disease. It can help clear mental haze, improving clarity and focus. |
| Detoxifies & Clears the Lymphatic System | Burbur also aids in the drainage of the lymphatic system, helping to clear out waste products and toxins. It is especially useful during the Lyme treatment process, where toxin buildup from both the disease and treatment can impede healing. |
| Calms the Nervous System | The calming properties of Pinella support the nervous system, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, common symptoms of Lyme disease and chronic infections. It promotes emotional well-being, helping Lyme patients cope with the emotional toll of chronic illness. |
| Anti-Spasmodic | Pinella has anti-spasmodic properties, making it useful for individuals experiencing muscle cramps or spasms, which are often associated with Lyme and other infections like Babesia or Bartonella. |
| Supports Gut Health | Pinella has been traditionally used to support digestion and can aid in balancing the digestive system, which is often compromised in Lyme patients due to inflammation or dysbiosis. |
| Enhances Absorption of Other Herbs | Burbur is thought to enhance the effectiveness of other herbal treatments by improving circulation and detoxification, making it a valuable addition to Lyme disease treatment regimens that include other herbs and protocols. |
| Relieves Pain & Discomfort | Both Burbur and Pinella have pain-relieving properties, providing some relief for joint and muscle pain, which are common symptoms in Lyme disease and its coinfections. |

FAQ
What makes Apex Botanical tinctures different from other herbal tinctures?
Our tinctures stand out due to the premium quality of herbs we use. Crafted at a concentration of 1:4, our herbal tinctures prioritize both potency and effectiveness.
Unlike many other companies that employ a uniform alcohol percentage across all products, our approach is nuanced. We tailor the alcohol concentration for each herb based on the distinct medicinal properties of the plant.
This strategy reflects our commitment to a sophisticated extraction of medicinal compounds, effectively setting Apex Botanicals apart in the realm of herbal tinctures.
How should I consume my herbal tincture?
Herbal tinctures are generally taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before and after meals). They can be taken directly or added to 1oz of water if the taste is hard to swallow.
Dosing of herbal tinctures will generally vary from 1 drop once per day up to 1 tsp 3 times per day. When taking anti-microbial herbal tinctures, starting at a lower dose and increasing slowly is the general rule of thumb.
*Be sure to speak with your primary care provider to determine the correct dose for your needs.
How long should I take my herbal tincture for?
The length of time a tincture should be taken will vary considerably based on your state of health, the infection / symptom you’re trying to treat and other medications or treatments you are concurrently taking.
Most people with chronic tick-borne infections take an herbal tincture for between 3 months and 2 years.
As a general rule, its recommended to take an herbal tincture for at least 1 month to see the best results.
Are herbal tinctures safe for children?
Generally speaking, it is safe for children to consume herbal tinctures, but dosing should be adjusted. Refrence 'Clarks Rule' for further information.
*Always consult your primary care provider before starting a new protocol or giving your child herbal tinctures.
Are herbal tinctures safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Some herbs are strictly contraindicated in pregnancy and should be avoided. We do our best to indicate this on the product information page but are not held liable for any errors or omissions.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding consult your primary care provider before consuming any herbal tinctures.
Will my herbal tincture interact with medications or supplements?
Interactions of herbal tinctures with medications or supplements do exist. We strongly recommended consulting with your primary care provider or pharmacist before taking any herbal tinctures if you are concerned about potential contraindications.
What does a 1:4 ratio imply and how does it compare to 1:2 or 1:5+?
The ratio describes the concentration of a tincture. We use a 1:4 ratio, meaning 1 part dried herb (in grams) to 4 parts menstruum (the combined alcohol and herb).
A ratio of 1:5 has more liquid to the same amount of herb and is therefore more diluted.
A ratio of 1:10 or higher is very diluted and requires very high daily doses and is not recommended.
Tinctures made at 1:2 are often too concentrated for Lyme patients and commonly induce Herx reactions that can be very intense.
Most tinctures on the market are made at 1:5. We’ve chosen to use 1:4 to ensure greater potency while still being very safe and tolerable.
Does higher alcohol content mean an herbal tincture is more or less potent?
Using the correct alcohol percentage to extract the specific medicinal constituents of that herb is of highest importance when making a tincture. Using more or less alcohol essentially reflects the chemical nature of the compounds that we want to extract into the liquid portion.
A tincture made at 40% versus one made at 80% is not twice at strong. It simply implies that for the first herb, 40% alcohol will optimally extract the medicinal qualities. For the second herb, 80% is the concentration for optimal extraction.
We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that our tinctures are made using the correct concentrations.
*Please note that not all herbal tinctures on the market are made with the appropriate alcohol concentration so use our site as a reference or conduct your own research to make sure you’re purchasing the best formulated tincture possible.
