*Bronchial asthma. It has been reported that butcher's broom, when combined with black- or green-leaf tea, may improve inhalation and exhalation.
*Poison immunity. Scientists have discovered that sparteine, one of the main components in butcher's broom, inhibits the proteins in snake venom and thus is a potent treatment for detoxification of some snake bites.
*Varicose veins. Due to vasoconstriction and steroidal content, butcher's broom may help to alleviate the unpleasant symptoms of varicose veins.(See [[Vasoconstrictor]])
*Hypotension. Butcher's broom raises blood pressure and thus is a good treatment for individuals suffering from chronic hypotension. Sparteine extends the rhythmical expansion of the cavities of the heart during which they fill with blood and hence there is an increase in diastolic blood pressure.
*Miscellaneous. Jaundice, functional disorders of the heart, kidney disorders.
