I know its plant that attach's it salf to other tree,s and is poison. What else can you tell me roughly it?
Answers: It establishes itself on the trees from birds that eat its sticky berries and later try to wipe this sticky substance from their beaks, transferring the seed to the branches, where they root and grow.
European mistletoe, unlike American mistletoe, is smaller number toxic and has be used for centuries in traditional prescription to treat seizures, headache, and other conditions. One of its main uses surrounded by Europe is for the treatment of cancer. Because of its less toxic humour, the leafy shoots and berries are used to make extracts that can be taken by the mouth (orally). Laboratory studies own found that European mistletoe kills cancer cell and stimulates the immune system as well.
Good ol' American mistletoe is not a contributor to medicinal advancement to due its slightly toxic nature. For Mr. Pestilence's benefit and anyone else here that care, I have added somewhat excerpt from The "National Institute Of Health and Alternative Medicine" explaining the toxicity of raw un-processed American & European mistletoe merely in valise anybody is unaware of the certainty. Here it is below.....
...."Side Effects and Cautions"
Raw, unprocessed mistletoe is poisonous. Eating raw, unprocessed European mistletoe or American mistletoe can rationale vomiting, seizures, a slowing of the heart rate, and even loss. American mistletoe is unsafe for medicinal use. Hope this has answered your interview.
