Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Mistletoe This is a different plant from American Mistletoe. Mistletoe can stimulate the heartbeat and increase cardiac output. It can suppress abnormal rhythms in any heart chamber correcting unnecessary "flutters." At the same time, Mistletoe will raise blood pressure and speed up the pulse.Mistletoe is a powerful nervine and cardiac depressant that acts on the vagus nerve. Mistletoe will quiet, soothe, and tone the nerves. It will also relieve spasms. It allows the body to rest and relax.Mistletoe use to be used as a remedy for cancer and was later rejected by physicians. Now the latest research indicates that it may be useful in tumor therapy.Mistletoe will also cause uterine contractions, so it should be avoided during pregnancy. The berries are considered to be poisonous. Persons with heart problems should be careful not to take too much of this herb. Use only 1 tsp. of herb per pint of water. Suzi What is a weed?
