 Mistletoe therapy is widely used in European integrative oncology, but many Indian patients naturally ask: Is it safe? What side effects should I expect? The good news is that mistletoe therapy is generally well-tolerated when administered by trained professionals. The most common side effects include: Mild fever Redness or swelling at the injection site Temporary flu-like symptoms Mild fatigue after the first few injections These effects usually indicate immune activation, not complications.

 Mistletoe therapy has gained international attention for its supportive role in oncology, especially among patients seeking natural and clinically studied supportive care. But what does science say about mistletoe extracts and their effect on the body? Mistletoe (Viscum album) contains bioactive compounds that have been researched extensively in Europe. The two most important are mistletoe lectins and viscotoxins . Lectins help stimulate the immune system by activating T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells—key defenders against infections and abnormal cell activity. Viscotoxins, on the other hand, may help slow the growth of cancer cells in laboratory studies. Together, these compounds help improve immune balance, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience suppressed immunity, making this immune-stimulating effect valuable. Another important aspect is mistletoe’s influence on quality of life . Many c...

 Chemotherapy is one of the most effective treatment options for advanced cancers, yet it comes with significant side effects—fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, appetite loss, and reduced immune function. As a result, many patients search for safe supportive therapies that can help them tolerate chemotherapy better. One such scientifically studied option is Mistletoe Therapy (Viscum album Extracts) , widely used in European oncology centers and now increasingly accessible in India through Abnoba India . Mistletoe extracts contain active compounds such as lectins , viscotoxins , and polysaccharides , which work together to stimulate the immune system and support biological functions weakened by chemotherapy. Many patients report improved resilience and faster recovery between cycles. One of the most widely documented benefits of mistletoe therapy is its ability to help manage chemotherapy-induced fatigue. Studies from Germany have shown improved vitality and emotional well-being among p...

 Integrative oncology blends conventional medical treatments with evidence-based supportive therapies to improve patient comfort, outcomes, and overall well-being. This approach is well-established in Europe and North America, and India is now experiencing growing interest—driven by patient awareness and the availability of scientifically validated therapies like Mistletoe Extracts (Viscum album) . Unlike alternative medicine that replaces treatment, integrative oncology focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of conventional care. Therapies such as physiotherapy, yoga, nutritional support, and mistletoe therapy help patients manage symptoms, strengthen immunity, and improve emotional health. Mistletoe therapy, in particular, has been a cornerstone of integrative oncology in Germany for decades. It is used in palliative units, cancer rehabilitation centers, and even mainstream hospitals. Its active compounds support immune modulation, reduce inflammation, and improve energy balanc...
