Butcher’s broom is a hardy, low-growing, evergreen shrub with prickly leaves. Native to the Mediterranean, northern Africa, and the Middle East, the roots from butcher’s broom were once gathered into a bundle which was used to clean and sweep butcher’s blocks. These roots also have a history of use in traditional European herbalism. Our butchers broom powder is ground from organic Ruscus aculeatus. Butcher’s broom root powder can be made into teas and extracts.

Butcher’s broom is a member of the lily (Liliaceae) family and also goes by the common name of box holly. Typical preparation of dried root includes tea or extract. To make a tea from chopped root, place 1 teaspoon of the herb in a cup of boiling water and steep in a closed teapot for 10 minutes. The teapot should not be heated. Strain before drinking.
