Ruscus Aculeatus - 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. Also known as box holly, knee holly, and
pettigree, butcher's broom now grows in many parts of the world, including the
southern United States.
Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) has been widely used since the ancient Greek
and Roman civilizations and has been the subject of scientific research in Europe
over the past 20 years. Ruscus aculeatus supports a healthy circulatory system
by stimulating receptors that cause vasoconstriction (reduction in the diameter
of veins).
