What is Butcher's Broom? Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is an evergreen sub-shrub native to Southern Europe.Its name comes from its historical use: The spiny branches were bundled and used to sweep provisions to keep mice away.In modern phytotherapy, however, it is known as one of the most potent vein helpers. Its rhizome contains Ruscogenins, which directly influence the elasticity and tone of the vein walls.
