Mistletoe is also known by the names European Mistletoe, Birdlime, Birdlime Mistletoe, Golden Bough, and Goldenbough. American Mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens) is similar to European Mistletoe (Viscum album), but has not been widely studied, and therefore should not be substituted for European Mistletoe until more information is available.
Combined with Valerian Root and Vervain in equal parts, it makes an excellent nerving tonic and has been used historically exhaustion and nervousness.
Toxicity is possible, so caution is advised regarding self-treatment.
