Butcher’s Broom

Derived from Ruscus aculeatus, this evergreen shrub boosts circulation and reduces swelling with its potent ruscogenin content. It soothes inflammation, relieves leg heaviness, and strengthens skin for a smoother, healthier look.
DESCRIPTION
Butcher’s Broom, or Ruscus aculeatus, is a hardy evergreen shrub native to Europe, the Mediterranean, and parts of North Africa. Named for its historical use by butchers who bundled its stiff branches to sweep their cutting boards, this plant has a rich legacy in herbal medicine dating back over 2,000 years. Its rhizomes and young stems are prized for their potent compounds, including ruscogenin and neoruscogenin—saponins that deliver remarkable therapeutic effects. Sustainably sourced, Butcher’s Broom offers a natural approach to wellness, particularly for circulatory health, and is gentle enough for daily use across all skin types.
BENEFITS
Circulatory Support: Enhances vein tone and constriction, improving blood flow to relieve symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, such as leg swelling, heaviness, and cramps.
Hemorrhoid Relief: Reduces swelling and discomfort in vascular conditions like hemorrhoids by promoting vein contraction and easing inflammation.
Anti-Inflammatory: Calms irritation and reduces inflammation, thanks to ruscogenin, which may also protect against damage from chronic inflammation.
Swelling Reduction: Acts as a mild diuretic to decrease fluid retention, minimizing puffiness in the legs or under the eyes.
Skin Resilience: Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, supporting a smoother, healthier complexion with improved elasticity.
