Mistletoe, from the sandalwood family, lives semi-parasitically on trees and extracts water and nutrient salts from them. The energy-rich organic compounds are produced by mistletoe through its own year-round green leaves by means of photosynthesis.
Phytotherapeutically, the dried herb, twigs with leaves and flowers, but also few fruits (mistletoe herb - visci herba) are used.
