What does Butcher’s Broom do?

Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is an evergreen shrub with roots traditionally used for their medicinal properties. Its potential benefits are primarily related to its effects on the circulatory system.
Potential benefits of Butcher's Broom include:
Improved circulation: Butcher's broom is known to support circulatory health. Its active compounds, like ruscogenins and neoruscogenins, are believed to strengthen vein walls and improve blood flow. This can be helpful for individuals experiencing leg cramps, varicose veins, and feelings of heaviness in the legs.
Support for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): Small clinical studies indicate that butcher's broom can help relieve symptoms associated with CVI, a condition characterized by poor blood flow in the veins. This includes reducing leg pain, heaviness, cramps, itching, and swelling. Butcher's broom products containing specific combinations with vitamin C and hesperidin have shown improved venous tone and reduced edema in studies.
Relief from hemorrhoids and varicose veins: Butcher's broom's beneficial effects on circulation make it a traditional remedy for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. It may help reduce swelling and discomfort associated with these conditions by promoting vein contraction and improving blood flow.
Reduced inflammation: Butcher's broom has anti-inflammatory properties that may help alleviate swelling and discomfort. Laboratory studies have shown that compounds in butcher's broom exhibit anti-inflammatory effects.
Support for lymphatic health: The herb promotes lymphatic drainage, which helps remove waste products from the body and maintain immune health. This can help prevent toxin buildup that could potentially lead to health issues.
Potential relief for orthostatic hypotension: Butcher's broom may help constrict veins, which could be beneficial for individuals with orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). However, more human research is needed to confirm this.
Possible benefits for lymphedema: A clinical study indicated that a product containing butcher's broom, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C reduced lymphedema (swelling due to fluid buildup) in women who had undergone breast cancer treatment. A meta-analysis suggested it increases venous tone and reduces capillary filtration, increasing lymphatic flow in patients with edema.
It is important to note:
Consult a healthcare professional: Before using butcher's broom, it's essential to talk to a doctor, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking other medications.
Limited clinical trials: While traditional uses and small studies suggest benefits, larger-scale, rigorous clinical trials are often needed to confirm these findings and establish long-term safety and effectiveness.
Dosage and formulations: Butcher's broom is available in various forms, including capsules, extracts, and tinctures. It's crucial to follow the recommended dosage on the product label or consult a healthcare professional.
Side effects and precautions: Butcher's broom may speed up the nervous system, increase blood pressure, and cause a fast heart rate. It's vital to be aware of potential interactions, especially with stimulant medications.
