The ancient defense: the ruscus Aculeatus (The butcher's broom)

The ancient defense that becomes essential to fight cellulite and support blood circulation.

The butcher's broom, vulgar name of Ruscus Aculeatus, has a literal meaning deriving from a peasants’ practice: the ancient use was that of arranging a crown of foliage around the plants to avoid rodents from climbing on them and eating the fruits. Its protective meaning has become an auspicious tradition: for the new year, it is a custom to give away butcher's broom branches with red berries. Philip Martin's studied the beneficial properties of Butcher's Broom and incorporated them into some products with amazing benefits.

The plant

Ruscus Aculeatus is an evergreen shrub with a height ranging from 30 to 80 cm. It is characterized by flattened twigs, called cladodes, which look like leaves and which end with a stiff and a pungent tip. The true leaves are inserted in the center of the cladodes and have a triangle or lanceolate shape. The flowers, greenish in color, have six petals, while the fruits are spherical red berries.

The benefits

The roots of the butcher's broom contain steroid saponins, essential oils and resins with vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. The marked phlebotonic activity of the butcher's broom is given by ruscogenins, which makes the walls of blood vessels more elastic, reduces the excessive permeability of the capillaries and increases the venous tone. These beneficial actions are essential to fight cellulite and the lymphatic stagnation: it is precisely for these characteristics that Philip Martin's has chosen the Ruscus Aculeatus as the main ingredient for some of its products.
