Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is a low-growing, evergreen shrub in the Asparagaceae family, native to Western Europe, North Africa, and the Near East. It is characterized by its stiff, flattened stems that resemble leaves (known as cladodes) and its bright red berries. The plant earns its common name from the historical practice of European butchers who bound its tough, antibacterial branches together to sweep and clean their wooden cutting blocks. Beyond its domestic utility, the root has been used in traditional Western herbalism since antiquity as a primary botanical for supporting fluid balance and "lightness" in the lower body.

How To Use

Brewing Method

Herbalist Note & Energetics

Herbalist Note: Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is a hardy evergreen shrub valued primarily for its venotonic properties. Its active compounds, ruscogenins, work by stimulating receptors in the smooth muscle of the vein walls, causing them to contract and improve blood flow. This makes it a standard botanical intervention for conditions involving poor circulation or "heavy" legs.

Energetics: Cool, Dry, Sweet, Bitter
