Traditional Uses
Mistletoe has traditionally been considered an all-heal herb. However, it was primarily used for psychological and nervous disorders, particularly the ones associated with stress and anxiety. The herb is known to calm the nerves and induce relaxation, which also makes it beneficial for sleeplessness. It was also used topically for various skin issues.
Modern Uses
Herbalists regard Mistletoe as a natural hypotensive drug, which means it can lower blood pressures. This, in turn, also makes the herb beneficial for heart health. Mistletoe is also known to boost the immune system, relieve various respiratory and circulatory issues, and a great herbal cure for stress and its associated issues.
Fun Fact
There are several mythologies, legends, and folklores associated with Mistletoe plant in various parts of the world. The most popular of all, which is believed to have created the tradition of kissing under the Mistletoe tree comes from Scandinavia. According to the legend, Baldr, the god of peace, was killed by an arrow made from the stem of Mistletoe tree. However, when Baldr’s life was restored upon the request of other gods and goddesses, his mother Frigga, who was the goddess of love and beauty, blessed the tree with the promise that whoever would pass from under the Mistletoe tree would get a kiss from her to depict that the tree had become an emblem of love.

After a friend’s recommendation, I have purchased your tinctures of Mistletoe and Frankincense twice and found them very good. Thank you.

I got Mistletoe tincture to give to my husband, recently diagnosed with lymphoma. I’m hoping it will help stop progression of the cancer even before he starts treatments, and ease side effects of chemo. It’s a little too early to tell yet, but based on what I’ve read, I have great hopes for it! And it tastes so pleasant, a nice surprise! I’ve already recommended this to a friend!

For Mistletoe extract
My husband currently has cancer and we discovered European Mistletoe while researching "alternative" treatment options. What I didn't expect to discover from it is that it also controls my "pre diabetes" blood sugar levels! A much cheaper, safer and earthly form of insulin! Another thing I noticed is my husband becomes extra love dovey on it. This is something we will ALWAYS keep on hand from now on! Thank you!! 5+ star rating!
