Mistletoe

Also known as: European mistletoe, Viscum album

Mistletoe is a semi-parasitic plant whose herb is traditionally used to support blood pressure and circulation. It contains lectins and viscotoxins; evidence for the effects of oral supplements in humans is weak.

What it is used for

  • blood pressure support – weak evidence, mainly traditional use
  • circulation support – weak evidence

Forms and how they differ

dried herb in capsules or tea

traditional forms, content is variable

combinations with hawthorn and garlic

evidence for combinations is limited

mistletoe injections

these are medicines used by doctors, not food supplements

When to take it

With food, as on the label; the tea is traditionally made as a cold infusion.

Pairs well with

Less salt, exercise and weight management.

Do not combine / separate

Do not combine with blood-pressure, heart or immunosuppressive medicines without asking your doctor.

Watch out for

Do not use during pregnancy, breastfeeding or in children. With heart disease, low blood pressure, autoimmune disease, cancer, or if you take medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

Mistletoe berries are poisonous. Do not exceed the label dose; digestive upset and a drop in blood pressure are possible.

Practical tip

Mistletoe supplements do not replace treatment of high blood pressure – measure it regularly and discuss results with your doctor.
