Mistletoe

Natural Mistletoe

Mistletoe is a unique and rare medicinal plant extracted from the parasitic evergreen plant Viscum album, which grows attached to the branches of large trees like oak, apple, and pine, drawing its nutrients from them. It is characterized by its shiny green oval leaves, beautiful pearly white berries, and a unique property found in no other plant—it remains green throughout the year, even in the harshest winter. Mistletoe has been known in traditional Arabic medicine and by ancient Europeans for thousands of years and was considered a semi-sacred plant—Celtic Druids celebrated its harvesting in special rituals, believing in its miraculous healing powers. It contains viscotoxin, lectins, and unique oligosaccharides that give it exceptional therapeutic properties, especially in supporting immunity, blood pressure, and the cardiovascular system.
