White mistletoe grass: medicinal properties and use in medicine. White mistletoe for weight loss: rules for the use of fat-burning herbs against the background of diets and sports

Hello, friends!

Interesting material about white mistletoe - its medicinal properties and contraindications has long been collected from me and was waiting for its turn.

And so, when last time I talked about Japanese Sophora and recipes for its use in conjunction with mistletoe, I urgently wanted to make a tincture for cleaning vessels. There was a reason for the publication of a new article.

Analyzing the statistics of requests, I was surprised that information about mistletoe is searched mainly as a means for losing weight. How little people know about her! But losing weight with mistletoe is not its main advantage. Mistletoe cures almost all diseases, traditional healers recommend drinking an infusion of mistletoe for the prevention of health for everyone all year round, especially for heart patients, hypertensive patients, epileptics ... however, I will list a wide range of applications below.

What a miracle White mistletoe: where it grows, where to buy

Another thing, the trees are deciduous. Especially in autumn and winter, when they have already shed their leaves, you can see such beauty on the branches: unusual olive-green spherical formations with a diameter of up to 3 meters, pleasing to the eye.

In general, this plant prefers trees with soft wood into which it seeks to infiltrate: apple, pear, cherry, linden, maple, poplar, elm, birch, pine, and fir.

If you meet mistletoe on a hazel tree, do not pass by! This is a very rare case, as the legends say - a treasure is buried under such a tree!

Mistletoe from birch helps with headaches and epileptics, from pine - for sore joints and heart.

On trees such as oak, spruce, ash, beech, mistletoe is rare. But since ancient times, it has been believed that the one on the oak has priority over others and has magical powers.

Mistletoe blooms from late March to April with small whitish-yellow flowers, from which fruits are formed in summer white color, smelling of orange and covered with sticky mucus.

Mistletoe is often referred to as "bird glue". Why avian?

The fact is that the seeds stored in mistletoe fruits fully ripen only by winter. Hungry birds are especially fond of these thrush fruits, they are willing to eat them in winter, while the sticky pulp sticks to their beak. To clean their beaks, the birds sit on a tree and, when undigested seeds are excreted with droppings. Seed grains fall into cracks in the bark, sticking tightly, and then develop in a new environment.

Where does it grow

The halo of white mistletoe habitat is from the south of Scandinavia and England to southern and central Europe, as well as in northern Asia.

Mistletoe prefers trees standing near water bodies, but in Switzerland, for example, it can be found even in the mountains at an altitude of 1200 meters.

And in our Stavropol, mistletoe flaunts right on the central streets of the city.

Note, on Far East red mistletoe grows. It differs from white mistletoe only in the color of the fruit, which has a reddish-orange color. By pharmacological properties these plants are identical. However, I recently read reviews that in the Primorsky Territory the Chinese are buying up tons of red mistletoe.

Where could I buy

White mistletoe is practically not sold in pharmacies, I don’t know how it is in other cities, but in our region there is none, despite the fact that it grows here. You can only collect yourself. This is because the plant is poisonous.

But now it is not difficult to make a purchase on the Internet. I can recommend a wonderful one, where I buy everything I need myself. This is not a promotional link, in fact I really love this site, where you can get more and customized practical advice for treatment from the herbalist-healer Dmitry Vyacheslavovich Oleinikov.

At present, the price of mistletoe is 90 rubles per 100 grams.

History and mythology

The white mistletoe plant is surrounded by an aura of mystery. The mention of it is found in ancient and Germanic myths. The legends of the northern peoples say that the plant is dedicated to the goddess of love and kissing under the mistletoe has become a folk custom.

At all times mistletoe was considered a sacred plant. The ancient Celts idolized it and used it in healing.

In Sweden, a bunch of mistletoe was hung from the ceiling of houses to protect against magic and sorcery.

In Switzerland, it was believed that it protects the tree and the house under it from lightning.

Yes, and in our time, mistletoe is honored as a rare plant and often hang a branch in the house above the door at Christmas.

In France, on the first day of the new year, children with mistletoe branches go from house to house, congratulating the owners.

In connection with such a distinctive existence in Europe, mistletoe has many nicknames: a witch's broom, a witch's nest, a witch's grass, a branch of happiness, a holy tree, a thunder broom, winter greens.

The scientific name, viscum album, means that it is a white (by the color of the fruit) plant from which the glue is extracted.

Mistletoe white: contraindications

Since not everyone reads articles to the end, today I will break the usual structure and immediately tell you about those contraindications that must be taken into account when using mistletoe.

Also in ancient greece mistletoe was used to treat epilepsy, seizures, and dizziness.

Anticonvulsant, antitumor, antihelminthic, soothing and regulating blood pressure, hemostatic, vasodilating, reducing excitability nervous system and other advantages of the plant are confirmed by scientific research.

The results of research conducted by German scientists were mistletoe preparations that counteract the formation of tumors and increase the body's resistance. Homeopaths use mistletoe for injections in the treatment of cancer of the kidneys, liver, stomach and duodenum.

However, it is not entirely clear how effective mistletoe is in such cases.

Ways to use mistletoe

Poisonous fruits are rarely used in recipes. For healing, leaves and young shoots of mistletoe are used. They are cut or knocked down with a stick in March-April and in autumn - in September-October. However, you can collect mistletoe even until the end of December. But at other times of the year, it does not have healing power.

Cut branches should be immediately chopped and dried for fresh air avoiding moisture.

They store supplies in glass, porcelain, wooden, cardboard containers and only one winter, as over time healing action is lost.

For tincture, it is preferable to use freshly cut branches.

And they cook from dry water infusion(cold tea).

tea recipe

Mistletoe tea normalizes the heart - vascular system, hormonal, increases efficiency, soothes, relieves anxiety and stress, normalizes sleep, restores metabolism.

It is also drunk as a hemostatic agent from the lungs and intestinal bleeding, and with "female" diseases: leucorrhoea, uterine fibroids, menopause, heavy menstruation, erosion of the cervix.

According to reviews, women who drink mistletoe tea for a long time and constantly forget about fears and shortness of breath, about menopause with palpitations and tachycardia.

How to cook

On the Internet, you can find two options for making tea: cold and hot. Moreover, it is noted that cold is preferable and the most common. I found out why. The fact is, when heated, biosubstances lose their properties!

So the only the right way next:

1. Boil 250 ml of water (bring to a boil with a white key) and cool to room temperature.
2. Pour 1 teaspoon of mistletoe grass (shredded leaves and shoots) with prepared water and leave to infuse for 10-12 hours. It is more convenient to do this at night.
3. Then the infusion is filtered and slightly heated to make it more pleasant to drink.
4. Usually a glass of infusion is divided into three parts and drunk before meals.

Outdoor use

The same water infusion of mistletoe is used externally to treat warts and other benign formations on the skin.

With nosebleeds, cold tea is drawn into the nose.

For the treatment of polyps in the rectum, microclysters are made from an aqueous solution.

Alcohol tincture

Application recipes vodka tincture white mistletoe are less common, but quite suitable for treatment.

The cooking method is standard for most herbs: 50 grams of mistletoe grass and 0.5 liters of vodka (not medical alcohol!), insist 3 weeks, take 20 drops three times a day.

The best way to use is still a combination of white mistletoe with Japanese Sophora in the form of a tincture, which wonderfully cleanses blood vessels and blood, is used for strokes, and for oncology.
