ACTIVE SUBSTANCES : Ruscogenins (saponin glycosides) DESCRIPTION : Butcher's Broom is an evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region and a member of the Lily family.

The rhizome of this plant has been used since the ancient times of the Greeks for many circulatory disorders. Greek Doctors treated swelling and varicose veins with Butcher's Broom.
