Ancient Remedies for Cancer Treatments

Many ancient remedies have been used for centuries to treat a variety of health challenges including cancers. They may be forgotten because of the dominance of mainstream medicine, but they are safe and effective and can be used as complementary cancer treatment options. Let’s dive into a few popular ones.

Mistletoe is a type of parasitic plant that grows on various types of trees, such as apple, oak, and pine. The plant is also called European mistletoe and differs from American mistletoe, which is commonly used as a decoration. The plant has thick, bristly leaves that are lance-shaped or oval. It has dense branches in oval shapes that are two inches long. Mistletoe attaches to a host tree or bush, penetrating the branches and absorbing nutrients and water to survive. This parasitic behavior is the most common feature of many species and types of mistletoe. Some species are toxic, especially the mistletoe found in America.

Mistletoe has been harvested for its leaves, stems, and berries for centuries due to its medicinal benefits. Mistletoe extract is most commonly prescribed as a complementary treatment for cancer in Europe. Mistletoe is known for its potential anti-cancer properties. It may prevent diabetes, soothe respiratory disorders, calm the nervous system, lower blood pressure, promote good sleep, eliminate inflammation, reduce snoring, and relieve menstrual pain. Researchers have found that chemical components in mistletoe may promote the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine, glutamic acid, and GABA. These neurotransmitters help improve insomnia and epilepsy. Mistletoe is one of the most widely researched alternative therapies for cancers. Research suggests that mistletoe helps boost the immune system to fight against cancers. It possesses anticancer qualities that inhibit cancer cell proliferation and even kill existing cancer cells. Antioxidants in mistletoe help improve blood circulation and protect the heart and blood vessels from damage. Mistletoe has been used in traditional medicine to help balance blood sugar levels by stimulating the secretion of insulin. The chemical components found in mistletoe help to get a restful sleep by showing a soothing effect on the nervous system, therefore, it helps regulate the sleep cycles.
