In Medieval Turkish literature, mistletoe, also known by names such as burc and yelimkara, can be examined under headings such as its historical journey, definition, cultivation, medicinal benefits, and place in mythology. Its ability to grow without needing soil has led to it being attributed special meanings. However, in historical writings, it is most commonly recognized for its healing properties. Since classical antiquity, mistletoe has been used for treating tumors and inflammations, epilepsy, dental and gum diseases, infertility, and various other ailments. Additionally, it has been preferred for treating animal diseases. When examining written sources from medieval Turkish civilization, it becomes evident that new and original contributions have been made to the knowledge about mistletoe.
