About Sida Acuta
Plant: Sida acuta
A broad-spectrum systemic herb effective against both Bartonella and Babesia, particularly for muscle tremors, internal 'buzzing' sensations, or an electric-shock feeling in the body.
Reference dosing
| Tincture dose — 1:5 | 1.25–2.5ml, 3 times daily |
| Tincture dose — 1:3 | 0.75–1.5ml, 3 times daily |
| Capsule dose (mg) | 250–500mg of dried herb, 3 times daily Calculated from Buhner's tincture dose (1ml of a 1:5 tincture = 200mg of dried herb). |
Reduce the dose if headaches occur; avoid with existing heart problems.
Capsule whole-herb extracts vary by manufacturer (a concentrated extract needs less than a plain powder). Treat these figures as a guide only and follow the product label.
These are figures from the sources used on this site. They are not a prescription. Follow the product label and your prescriber.
Safety and cautions
Contraindications: Avoid entirely with existing heart problems (cardiac issues are a hard contraindication in the underlying data). Reduce the dose or discontinue if a headache occurs — a documented dose-sensitivity signal repeated across the Babesia and Bartonella protocols.
Herbs can interact with prescription medicines and other supplements. Check with your prescriber or pharmacist first, and do not use herbs in pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless a doctor agrees.
