MISTLETOE (Viscum album)
Common Names: European Mistletoe and Birdlime Mistletoe.
 
The well-known Mistletoe, an evergreen, parasitic plant, grows on deciduous trees and pine trees in a ball-like bush and is an excellent medicinal herb one should not do without. The evergreen, leathery leaves are of a yellow-green colour. The berries are whitish, somewhat opaque and sticky. Birds distribute the sticky seeds in this way: by shapening their beaks on branches or passing the undigested seeds in droppings. Only in this way is it propagated since it has been demonstrated that seeds do not sprout when placed either in water or soil.
Mistletoe, an old magic and medicinal plant, is shrouded in mystery. The Druids held it in great reverence as a sacred plant that could remove every ill. It was gathered with great ceremony and cut from the tree with a golden knife. Old herbalists used it as an excellent and effective remedy for epilepsy. This remedy is also acknowledged by the "Kneipp" physician, Dr Bohn. He recommends Mistletoe for chronic cramps and hysterical complaints.
The leaves and small twigs which are cut for drying are gathered from the beginning of October to the middle of December and then in March and April. In the remaining months of the year, Mistletoe is without medicinal properties. Plants with the greatest healing power grow on oaks and poplars; but those growing on pines, firs and fruit trees are also medicinally strong.  Again a hint on gathering: In March and April the Misteltoe has hardly any beries. The birds have picked them in winter. There is less work then in cutting the leaves and twigs, since the removal of the sticky berries that are still there between October and December is no longer necessary.
Frequently I have been asked why I praise Misteltoe so much, since it is supposed to be poisonous. The leaves and twigs are not; only the berries, if taken internally. An ointment made of the berries and lard is excellent for frost bites. (See directions)
A woman had chilblains on her nose for years. During the winter she was reluctant to leave the house because of her blue-red nose. It got worse from year to year. I advised her to apply a poultice of fresh Mistletoe berries on her nose overnight. Although it sounds unbelievable it is a fact that her nose was normal after a few days.
Since Mistletoe benefits the whole glandular system it also aids the metabolism. At the same time it favourably influences the pancreas so that through drinking Mistletoe tea over a long period, diabetes loses its orignial cause. Especially people who suffer from chronic metabolic disorders should try to drink Mistletoe tea regularly for six months. It is excellent for hormonal imbalnace. In this case at least 2 cups a day, one in the morning and after lunch and the third cup before and after dinner.
Mistletoe tea is also used as a blood-staunching remedy. It stops nose-bleeding when used cold, if drawn up into the nose. As a tea it arrests lung-and intestines-bleeding caused by typhoid or dysentery.
Mistletoe is the best remedy for heart and circulatory complaints. I cannot emphasize Misteltoe enough for circulatory problems. Since it has active substances which normalise the whole system, it lowers high and raises low blood pressure . It soothes the restless heart and strengthens it. All the side effects of abnormal blood pressure such as blood rushing to the head, dizziness, buzzing in the ears and visual defects dissappear. Mistletoe, it can be said is invaluable in all heart and circulatory disorders. People in our fast moving times, with the tensions of modern living and working under stress, surely need an aid like Mistletoe.
In many letters I have received, people state that thanks to Mistletoe they have found relief in a short time from high blood pressure, bad circulatory problems, lack of energy, heart disorders, heart flutters, dizziness and unwillingness to work. 3 cups of Mistletoe, made as a cold infusion and sipped throughout the day, will normalise your heart and your circulation and guarantee an increased work activity. In general, Mistletoe tea should be drunk for six weeks, once a year; 3 cups for 3 weeks, 2 cups for 2 weeks and 1 cup for 1 week. Blood pressure and circulation will have recovered after this. To keep it that way it is of benefit to keep on drinking 1 cup in the morning for a year.
Women, too, should take Mistletoe tea. The normalised circulation brings uterine and menstrual disorders into equilibrium, especially heavy menstruation as well as bleeding after confinement. For palpitations of the heart, difficulties in breathing, hot flushes and feelings of anxiety during menopause, Mistletoe tea, drunk for a few years, brings relief and you will pass through the change naturally. The fresh juice of Mistletoe, 25 drops in water on an empty stomach before breakfast and 25 drops in water in the evening before going to bed will remedy barreness in woman.
Lately, Mistletoe is used medicinally to counteract and prevent cancer. Again and again we are shown, how herbs are effective in disease prevention as well as cleansing the body of harmful substances. Use the herbs and do your body a favour: it will keep you healthy and strong.
 
DIRECTIONS
 
Infusion:
 
Mistletoe tea is made as a cold infusion. A heaped teaspoon of Mistletoe is soaked in 1/4 litre of cold water overnight, the next morning slightly warmed and strained. If a larger amount per day is needed, the tea is kept in a thermos flsk that has been rinsed with hot water, or warmed in a water bath each time.
 
Tincture: 
 
This is bought as a preparation.
 
Fresh Juice:
 
Fresh leaves and twigs are washed and, still wet, put into the juice extractor.
 
Ointment:
 
The fresh berries of the Mistletoe are stirred into the cold lard (used for chilblains).
