Butchers Broom Root | Organic | Kosher
In the sun-drenched Mediterranean landscapes, where ancient traditions flourish, grows butcher’s broom (Ruscus aculeatus)—a resilient, evergreen shrub that has been valued for centuries. Its name harks back to its practical use by butchers, who bundled the prickly branches to sweep and clean their blocks. Yet, the plant’s benefits extend far beyond its role as a cleaning tool, finding a revered place in European herbalism for its supportive properties.
Butcher’s broom root has long been prepared as a tea or extract, celebrated for its earthy flavor and wellness benefits. Steeped in tradition, it remains a popular choice for those seeking herbal support from nature’s pharmacy.
