Mistletoe therapy has been used for decades across Europe and beyond to support patients at every stage of the cancer experience. Whether you’re undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, recovering after treatment, or receiving palliative care, mistletoe can help reduce side effects, strengthen immune function, improve treatment tolerance, and enhance quality of life.

Research—including dozens of clinical trials—has shown that mistletoe may contribute to improved energy, appetite, mood, and even survival outcomes. In palliative care settings, it can provide comfort and resilience during a difficult time, offering patients and their families a greater sense of peace and support.

While mistletoe is considered safe and well-tolerated, its proper use is highly individualized. Effective administration requires a deep understanding of both the therapy and the patient’s specific condition, treatment history, and immune response. At the Marsden Centre, our experienced integrative cancer care providers are trained in the nuanced use of mistletoe and will carefully monitor and adjust your therapy to ensure it's both effective and comfortable.

Whether used on its own or as part of a broader naturopathic treatment plan, mistletoe therapy is one more way we help patients feel supported, empowered, and cared for during their cancer journey.

We’re here to walk beside you with evidence-informed options, compassionate guidance, and a deep commitment to your healing.
