Renee: Living with Lyme Disease and Finding a Moment of Calm

“For the first time in my adult life, I felt like I could breathe.”

Renee came to The Raj Ayurveda Health Center in Fairfield, Iowa, The Ayurveda Capital of America, after years of health challenges associated with her Lyme disease journey. She describes living with pain and anxious feelings, and the emotional toll of being told she might simply need to keep trying different treatments.

Near the end of her first week, Renee received Shirodhara and a traditional full-body Ayurvedic oil treatment. She recalls an extraordinary moment of relaxation, when she noticed that her anxiety had quieted and she could simply be still.

Her emotional response reflected how unusual that feeling was for her. Renee describes it as the first time in her adult life that she felt she could truly breathe.

Her story is about her experience of rest, relief, and hope while navigating Lyme disease. It does not establish that her underlying infection resolved.
