Butcher's Broom Root Powder (Ruscus Aculeatus)

Butcher's Broom Root Powder (Ruscus aculeatus) is a finely milled herbal preparation made from the tough, woody root of the butcher’s broom plant, long valued in traditional European herbalism for its ability to support circulation, reduce swelling, and tone the venous system. This powder retains the herb's naturally astringent and mildly bitter qualities, offering a convenient form for blending into capsules, teas, or topical preparations.

Traditionally used to support vascular health, Butcher's Broom is particularly helpful in addressing discomfort associated with poor blood flow, including sensations of heaviness or fatigue in the legs, mild varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. It is also believed to help reduce fluid retention by promoting lymphatic and venous circulation, making it a common ingredient in blends aimed at supporting capillary strength and vascular tone.

When prepared as a tea or supplement, the powder offers a subtle earthy flavor and is often paired with complementary herbs such as horse chestnut, gotu kola, or witch hazel for enhanced vascular support.

Each batch of Butcher's Broom Root Powder (Ruscus aculeatus) is carefully processed to preserve its active constituents, including ruscogenins, which are believed to contribute to its circulatory benefits. Whether used in internal formulations or applied in external preparations, this herb offers a time-tested and natural way to support healthy blood flow and reduce mild swelling and vascular discomfort.
