Mistletoe (Viscum album) is a poisonous, semi-parasitic plant that grows on various host trees native to Europe and Western Asia. Its medicinal use dates back centuries to the ancient civilizations of the Druids and Greeks. Today, preparations of its extracts are some of the most common complementary therapies used in oncology worldwide. With over 200 clinical studies to date, there’s no denying its safety and utility in cancer care.
The mistletoe plant blooms in winter and has a unique spherical growth pattern that, interestingly, mimics a tumor. Interestingly enough, it also grows independent of the sun and gravity. It contains numerous active constituents, but its effects on the immune system and the tumor-inhibiting properties are primarily due to a group of compounds called lectins. Different mistletoe products contain varying amounts of these lectins and are thus indicated for different conditions or tumor types.
