Mistletoe is a parasitic evergreen plant that lives on trees such as apple and willow. Modern complementary cancer treatments are increasingly using mistletoe preparations. However, as mistletoe grows on many different trees, the plant's properties vary depending on the host. For the first time, this book presents an important reference for professionals on the characteristics of each type of mistletoe and which types of cancer are best treated. Twelve hosts are described, covering all aspects from mythology and botany to homeopathy and flower essences. The author combines the various characteristics to provide a unique guide on which patients may benefit most from the different types of mistletoe. The results will be useful not only in cancer treatment but also in prevention. The book includes specific case studies as well as notes on complementary treatments using metals.
