Mistletoe Loose Herb Organic 0.5oz

• European mistletoe is a semiparasitic plant that grows on several types of common trees such as apple, oak, pine, and elm. European mistletoe is different from American mistletoe, which is a type of mistletoe that grows in the United States and is used as a holiday decoration. 
• European mistletoe has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for a variety of conditions, including seizures, headaches, and menopause symptoms. Today, European mistletoe is promoted as a treatment for cancer.
• In Europe, European mistletoe extracts that are given by injection are sold as prescription drugs. European mistletoe may also be taken orally (by mouth) as a dietary supplement. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of European mistletoe as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition.

How Much Do We Know?

• Although European mistletoe has been studied as a treatment for cancer, its effects are not well understood because much of the research has been of poor quality. Most studies have evaluated European mistletoe administered through injection by a health care provider. Very little research has looked at European mistletoe taken orally.
