Effects of mistletoe therapy on quality of life
Mistletoe therapy helps to awaken and support the powers of recovery – the disease no longer seems insurmountable, life has a future again. Many clinical studies have shown that mistletoe therapy noticeably improves quality of life:
- Appetite returns
- Weight increases – the body gains strength
- Sleep improves
- The susceptibility to infections reduces
- The cold feeling with shivering and freezing, which often occurs with cancer, stops
- Pain subsides
- Performance increases
- The mood brightens and depression subsides
- Emotional stability grows.
- The fear of the illness, which often dominates thoughts and actions especially in the time following diagnosis, diminishes
- It becomes easier to distance oneself from the cancer disease and to concentrate on life itself instead
- You are doing something to treat yourself and are no longer just the object of therapeutic measures
- You are once again in a better position to make decisions and set priorities in your life. The disease no longer dominates your whole life
- You come back to yourself and to what constitutes you and your path in life
