The active constituents in butcher's broom are believed to be ruscogenins. They work to treat hemorrhoids by constricting blood vessles and reduce inflammation in the hemorrhoidal tissue. This is a classic venotonic, which means that it improves the tone of the venous walls.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi all, I'm thinking of trying Butchers Broom to try to address the disparity in my awful temperature problems, as my legs are always colder than the top 1/2 of me. Apparently BB is in part an anti-coagulant, and also interestingly a vasoconstrictor which is the opposite from other things I've tried (though the vasodilators have all made me feel worse). BB increases supposedly the circulation, especially to the lower limbs. I'm not really convinced that my temp probs are circulatory - more likely neurological, but was wondering if anyone else has tried this (for whatever reason) and if so what happened - good or bad?

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 ..Rosie I alternate Butcher's broom with Horse Chestnut since about 2000. Works for me. mjh Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 14:40:22 -0000 From: " jasonlbreckenridge " <jasonlbreckenridge@...> Subject: Re:Butchers broom I take BB, it is also an elastase inhibitor > > Hi all, > > I'm thinking of trying Butchers Broom to try to address the disparity in > my awful temperature problems, as my legs are always colder than the top > 1/2 of me.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi mjh, thanks for the reply. May I be so bold as to ask exactly how it works for you - what symptoms do you feel it has helped?
