Butchers Broom root - Latin Name: (Ruscus aculeatus)
 |
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. 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 |
