Introduction: Butcher's Broom is an evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region and a member of the Lily family. The plant derives its name from the use of the stiff twigs as brushes by butchers for their cutting blocks. The rhizome of this plant has been used since the ancient times of the Greeks for many circulatory disorders. Greek Doctors treated swelling and varicose veins with Butcher's Broom.
PHYSIOLOGY : Butcher's Broom contains saponin glycosides called rusco-genins. Research has shown that these ruscogenins possess vasoconstrictive and anti-inflammatory properties. These active ingredients reduce the fragility and permeability of capillaries and constrict the veins. These plant saponin glycosides are the starter compounds for important steroid compounds in the human body.
ACTIVE PROPERTIES: Butcher's broom extract was found to possess vasoconstrictive and anti-inflammatory properties. The herb is used in European medicine for venous circulatory disorders and hemorrhoidal problems. Many European women use Butcher's Broom to reduce capillary fragility and to help prevent edema in the legs after standing all day. Others have used the herb for varicose veins, particularly during pregnancy.
