    Avoid in individuals with a known allergy/hypersensitivity to mistletoe or to any of its constituents. A life-threatening allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, occurred after injections of mistletoe.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
