The healing power of mistletoe

Feel new strength.At every moment.Mistletoe therapy can support your oncological treatment and improve your quality of life.Mistletoe therapy is suitable for strengthening the immune system, regulating sleep and appetite, normalizing the sensation of heat and reducing persistent exhaustion (fatigue).

Mistletoe therapy is an important part of integrative oncology, which combines conventional medicine and complementary medicine.It can be carried out at any time during the cancer process, both before, during and after standard therapy.Over 150 clinical studies confirm the good tolerability and the positive effect on the quality of life of cancer patients.

Application of mistletoe therapy

Mistletoe therapy is tailored to your individual needs and requires medical supervision.Your doctor will check whether mistletoe therapy is an option for you, select the right type of mistletoe and explain how to use it.You can then carry out the therapy independently at home.

With mistletoe therapy, you inject the mistletoe extract under your skin (subcutaneously), ideally into a fold of skin on your stomach or thigh.The injection is usually given three times a week.Long-term use over several months is recommended so that mistletoe therapy has lasting effects.After the adjustment period, there are breaks of several weeks between injection times.

Side effects of mistletoe therapy

The body often shows the following reactions to mistletoe therapy: reddened injection site (sometimes with swelling or itching) and a slight increase in body temperature (0.5 to 1 degree Celsius).These signs from the body are harmless and even desirable because they indicate the activity of the immune system.If you have a fever over 38 degrees Celsius or severe redness at the injection site that is more than 5 centimeters in diameter, you should not inject the next dose of mistletoe.If you have allergic reactions such as hives, facial swelling or shortness of breath, contact your doctor.

Assumption of costs

If patients are terminally ill with cancer (palliative situation), statutory health insurance companies cover the costs of mistletoe therapy.In addition, reimbursement of costs is possible if the therapy is used to reduce the severe side effects of chemotherapy.As a prerequisite for this, patients need a doctor's prescription with a health insurance prescription.
