Loranthus, a genus of parasitic plants commonly referred to as mistletoe in some regions, has been used in various traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. In these traditions, certain species of Loranthus (such as Loranthus micranthus or Loranthus ferrugineus) have been used for a variety of health purposes, including as a tonic for the male reproductive system. Ethnobotanical records and anecdotal reports suggest its use for improving sexual vigor, treating erectile dysfunction, and supporting fertility. However, the documentation of these uses is primarily found in traditional medicinal texts and folk practices rather than in modern clinical literature.

Scientific studies on Loranthus are limited, and there is a lack of high-quality clinical trials directly evaluating its efficacy for male reproductive health. Some in vitro and animal studies have explored general pharmacological effects of Loranthus extracts, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities, but these do not specifically address male reproductive health or provide clear mechanisms relevant to this body system. As such, the evidence supporting its use is largely traditional and not substantiated by robust scientific validation.
