I looked it up, it is an herb. I wonder if it is effective against babesia as well b/c it says it is used for malaria and lyme
Detoxification
NutraMedix uses a special process to extract Desmodium molliculum from the plant's leaves, which is supposed to make Burbur more effective. According to registered nurse Jean Reist, the Herxheimer reaction or "herxing" happens when the bacteria causing Lyme disease die off. Taking Burbur at the start of a Herxheimer reaction can help keep lymph flowing, so the toxins caused by the dying bacteria are eliminated from the body.
Uses
The herb has many uses in native medicine. It can be used for the treatment of gastritis, kidney stones, malaria, allergies, asthma, inflammation, parasites, tumors, viruses and as a blood purifier and sedative. In the United States, Desmodium molliculum is used as an energizing drink, sold over the counter. It is also being used as detoxifying agent, although there is no evidence that the herb actually works for this use.
