Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in European folk medicine for epilepsy, infertility, hypertension, arthritis, headaches, and menopausal symptoms, and revered by Celtic Druids as a sacred plant for its cardiovascular properties.
Potential Benefits: European mistletoe extracts (primarily injectable) are used in Europe as a complementary cancer treatment, with some research suggesting immunomodulatory and cytotoxic effects against tumor cells, though clinical efficacy is not well-established, and the FDA has not approved it for any medical condition.
Warnings: Raw berries, leaves, and stems are poisonous and can cause vomiting, seizures, bradycardia, liver damage, coma, and death; avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in autoimmune diseases (e.g., MS, rheumatoid arthritis), leukemia, and with blood pressure medications.
