Common Uses: The vein-narrowing qualities of butcher's broom have been found to actually relieve the discomforts of varicose veins and other circulatory conditions (such as chronic venous insufficiency). Not only does leg pain resulting from insufficient circulation in lower limb veins often respond to treatment with butcher's broom, but related symptoms (swelling, itching, numbness, cramping, and a sensation of heaviness) may subside as well. Butcher's Broom has also been used to relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids.
Suggested Uses: 30 to 50 drops in water or juice three to four times daily or as recommended by your health practitioner.
Traditional Uses: A poultice of the berries and leaves were applied topically to aid in the healing of broken bones. A mild laxative and diuretic, used to treat urinary obstructions. "The boughs have been employed for flogging chilblains." - Grieve
Herbal Anecdote: The stiff spines of butcher's broom, an evergreen bush (Ruscus aculeatus) native to the Mediterranean region, were once popular for making brooms (hence the herb's name). Its foliage was also used to clean butcher's blocks. For centuries, people also consumed this herb, which is closely related to asparagus, as a vegetable.
