	Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine: Cuscuta
		Cuscuta is the name of a group of plants in the morning glory family, of which the species Cuscuta epithymum is most commonly used in healing.
		Cuscuta is a leafless plant with branching stems ranging in thickness from thread-like filaments to heavy cords.
		Cuscuta was considered both an aphrodisiac and a longevity herb because it slowed down the loss of fluids from the body.

		Cuscuta is a leafless plant with branching stems, which can reach a height of approximately five feet.
		It is a parasitic plant: cuscuta has no chlorophyll and cannot make its own food through photosynthesis, so it grows on other plants and uses their nutrients for its own means.
		Specifically, cuscuta seeds are used in conjunction with other herbs to treat a wide range of conditions, ranging from impotence, premature ejaculation and frequent urination, to blurred vision and dry eyes.

	Background on the genus Cuscuta (dodders)
		This genus is composed of approximately 150 species, all of which are obligately parasitic (they are fully dependent upon a plant host for food, water, nutrients, and physical support).
		Despite their almost complete lack of chlorophyll and leaves, dodders are true flowering plants, and are closely related to morning glory.
		They differ, however, in their geographic distribution and also in their host preferences.

		The genus Cuscuta is composed of a large number of morphologically similar stem parasitic vines.
		The morphological reduction of Cuscuta has historically rendered them a taxonomically difficult group, although most authorities have agreed they are allied to Convolvulaceae (Morning Glories).
		Mitochondrial gene and intron sequences have revealed a sister relationship of Cuscuta to members of Convolvulaceae rather than suggesting Cuscuta is nested within the family.
