More on Butcher's Broom
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). For centuries, people also consumed this herb, which is closely related to asparagus, as a vegetable.
Butcher's Broom is helpful in the treatment of both hemorrhoids and other types of varicose veins as this herb strengthens and builds up the structure of the veins. Butcher's Broom may also improve poor circulation and can act as an anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism and in cases of inflammation in the kidney and bladder.
