Euro Mistletoe Young Shoot - Viscum album

Unlike the majority of plant remedies in phytoembryotherapy, mistletoe is a parasite that feeds off its host in the summer, and actively grows in the winter. Our phytotherapy remedy is derived from mistletoe of crab apple trees; harvested in early winter. It is primarily an anti-sclerotic of the vascular system, with secondary effects of kidney support (think long-term high blood pressure), gynecological support (cysts), and neurological (migraines).

On spiritual and mental-emotional levels, mistletoe young shoot helps to support well-being during the low light of winter, or emotional exhaustion.

Phytoembryonic plant medicine, similar to western botanical medicine, relies on the extraction of a variety of plant phytochemicals, nutrients, and energetics to exert therapeutic effects. The plant bud, composed mainly of meristem cells, is the most concentrated and vital part of the plant, since it houses all of a plant's developmental information. Meristem cells are undifferentiated embryological tissue capable of specializing function based on living conditions. Thus, meristem cells are the factory, motor, and blueprints for an immature plant, giving functional instructions to the embryonic tissue, and driving its growth to thrive in a specific environment.
