For thousands of years, mistletoe has been known for its healing effects.
The Celts regarded it as a panacea; Hippocrates used it as a remedy for many diseases.

Up until the modern age, many indications were treated with mistletoe preparations.

The first to attest to its potential as an anticancer agent was Rudolf Steiner.

In 1916, Physician Ita Wegman first began working with mistletoe preparations based on ideas laid down by Rudolf Steiner. Over time, extensive and many faceted research has been conducted and an extraordinary wealth of literature and documentation is available.
