Description
Viscum album L. (Mistletoe), circa 1800-1830. Extracts and preparations from the parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album L.) have been used in the treatment of cancer. Druids revered as sacred any Oak containing mistletoe. In medieval times mistletoe could keep witches at bay, lead you to treasure and cure epilepsy. As an evergreen mistletoe symbolised eternal life and fertility. Artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute. (Photo by National Museum & Galleries of Wales Enterprises Limited./Heritage Images/Getty Images)
