Ruscus aculeatus
Arbuste à feuilles persistantes méditerranéen utilisé depuis la Grèce antique pour les troubles circulatoires.
Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is a Mediterranean evergreen shrub whose rhizomes have been used since ancient Greek times to treat venous disorders. Modern evidence supports its use for chronic venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids, attributed primarily to steroidal saponins such as ruscogenin and neoruscogenin, along with flavonoids. These compounds exhibit venotonic, anti-inflammatory, and vasoconstrictive properties.
Ruscogenins act as alpha-adrenergic receptor agonists, particularly on alpha-1 and alpha-2 receptors in venous smooth muscle, leading to increased venous tone and reduced venous capacitance. They also inhibit leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and decrease capillary permeability by suppressing the activity of enzymes like hyaluronidase and elastase. Additionally, flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, further supporting microcirculation.
