Butcher´s broom, known scientifically as Ruscus aculeatus, is a flowering plant that also has many other common names such as box holly, knee holly, kneeholm, jew’s myrtle, pettigree and sweet broom. It belongs to the Asparagaceae family, which includes asparagus. The young shoots of butcher’s broom may also be prepared and eaten like asparagus. The use of butcher’s broom in herbal medicine is more than 2,000 years old and was first documented in ancient Greece. However, it was only until the 1950s that butcher’s broom was used in western herbal medicine and its popularity has increased dramatically since the 1970s. The root-like rhizomes and young stems are the most valuable part of the plant in herbal medicine, although some preparations use the entire plant.
