Helixor Mistletoe Injections & Mistletoe Therapy
Mistletoe is classified as a semi-parasitic plant. It grows on a number of different kinds of trees such as maple, pine, birch, oak and apple. It enjoys a long history of traditional medicinal use for a number of different conditions.
It is delivered as a series of subcutaneous (under the skin) injections, or IV treatments. Few lasting side-effects have been reported from the use of mistletoe therapy.
The chemical makeup of mistletoe extract varies depending upon its exact subspecies, host tree, harvest time, whether or not it has been fermented, etc. Some extracts are water based while others are a mixture of alcohol and water. Mistletoe therapy (often also referred to as Iscador or Helixor) has been approved for use in in numerous countries.
