I cannot tolerate alcohol well. I have used teasel root for lyme in raw powdered form sold by Plum Flower extracts (from asia). If you just search google with keywords "plum flower teasel" you get plenty of results. It is also more economical than tincture.
I get very good results with this, although I am not cured.
Sometimes I wonder if an American product would be more effective, because the plant is a little different when grown in different environments. Also, the species may possibly be different in the two continents (while they are the same genus).
Also, I wonder what herbs are complementary with teasel.
