Rock Rose (Cistus Incanus)

For years, the herbal community whispered about a Mediterranean wildflower called Rock Rose. That it did something. That people who drank it daily felt different. That it seemed to reach places antibiotics couldn't.

In 2020, researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health decided to find out if there was anything to it.

They tested fourteen botanical medicines against Borrelia burgdorferi — the bacteria that causes Lyme disease — specifically targeting its most stubborn, treatment-resistant form. The kind that hides. The kind that persists long after a standard antibiotic course ends and leaves people wondering why they still don't feel like themselves.

Cistus incanus — Rock Rose — was one of only seven herbs that showed up.

This is the research. This is the herb. And this is why it's the heart of Rock Rose Shield Tea.
