As an herbal remedy, you don’t often hear the name butcher’s broom, but for the treatment of piles (also known as hemorrhoids), it is a very powerful option for relief. Butcher’s broom contains rather unique organic compounds called ruscogenins, which are widely known to possess anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to ease the strain and tension in your gastrointestinal tracts, thus preventing “straining” during bowel movements. This can noticeably reduce the symptoms of piles and promote healthy digestion and excretion.
