Once considered a sacred herb in Celtic tradition, mistletoe has been used for centuries for high blood pressure, epilepsy, exhaustion, anxiety, arthritis, vertigo (dizziness), and degenerative inflammation of the joints. According to one retrospective case study, mistletoe injections may help manage arthritis. Further research is needed before a firm conclusion can be made.
   
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to mistletoe or any of its constituents. A life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis has been described after injections of mistletoe. Avoid with acute highly febrile inflammatory disease, thyroid disorders, seizure disorders, or heart disease. Use cautiously with diabetes, glaucoma, or if taking cholinergics.

Kath Malone I take Glucosamine daily and it seems to have prevented my knees from worsening. I also get less pain in them. However, I am suffering with arthritis in the hands and wrrist now and the glucosamine does not seem to help this.

Annette Snow This is very good for swollen, stinging , burning symptoms . Especially in your feet. Also swollen feet ( acts as diuretic)
It also gets rid of gout or pseudo gout where small crystals form in your blood or joins causing pain. Less expensive then cherry juice and acts similarly on your system. I pick my own and make a tea (wear gloves).
