Ointments and suppositories including butcher's broom are
typically used for hemorrhoids. These are often applied or
inserted at night before going to bed. Encapsulated butcher's
broom extracts, often combined with vitamin C or flavonoids,
can be used for systemic venous insufficiency in the amount
of 1,000 mg three times per day.
Alternatively, standardized extracts providing 50-100 mg
of ruscogenins per day can be taken.
If raw herb is used, use 2 teaspoons of powdered root per
1.5 pints of boiling water, boiled in a covered container
for about 0.5 hour, at a slow boil. Allow the liquid to cool
slowly in the closed container. Drink cold, 2 to 3 tablespoons
6 times daily.
