Ruscus aculeatus is a low-growing, evergreen shrub with prickly leaves. Native to the Mediterranean, northern Africa, and the Middle East, butcher’s broom derives its name from its historical use as a bundle to sweep and clean butcher’s blocks. However, its beneficial properties extend beyond that of a broom and into traditional European herbal practices. Butcher's broom root is typically steeped as tea or extracted.
