The healing power of mistletoe

Mistletoe therapy can support your oncological treatment and improve quality of life.It is suitable for alleviating the side effects of classic cancer therapy, such as persistent exhaustion, for strengthening the immune system, for regulating sleep and appetite, and for normalizing the sensation of heat.

The effect of mistletoe therapy is based on the special properties of white-berry mistletoe, which has over 1,000 ingredients.This multi-layered composition actively supports the body and helps to experience more strength and quality of life.Mistletoe therapy can be carried out at any time during cancer and can be used before, during and after standard therapy.

Implementation of mistletoe therapy

Mistletoe therapy is individually tailored and requires medical supervision.The treating doctor checks suitability, selects the appropriate type of mistletoe and explains how to use it.The therapy can then be carried out independently at home.

When used for the first time, the mistletoe extract is injected under the skin (subcutaneously), ideally into a fold of skin on the stomach or thigh.As a rule, three injections are given per week.Long-term use over several months is recommended, although breaks of several weeks can be taken after the adjustment period.

The body's reactions to mistletoe therapy

The body can react to mistletoe therapy with reddened puncture sites, sometimes with swelling or itching, as well as a slight increase in body temperature.These local reactions are harmless and show the activity of the immune system.If you have a fever over 38 degrees Celsius or severe redness at the injection site, the next dose should not be injected.If you experience allergic reactions such as hives, facial swelling or shortness of breath, you should consult a doctor.

Coverage of costs by health insurance companies

In palliative situations or to mitigate severe side effects of chemotherapy, statutory health insurance companies can cover the costs of mistletoe therapy.The prerequisite is a doctor's prescription with a health insurance prescription.
