Health Information

Horsechestnut has been used for centuries to threat backaches, rheumatism, whooping cough, haemorrhoids and other rectal complaints. It also has been used for capillary fragility and varicose veins. It is an astringent, which increases vascular strength and tone. Its active constituent, Aescin, has a "sealing" effect on the capillaries, reducing the number and diameter of the small pores of the capillary wall by which the exchange of water occurs. When taking this herb, you cannot expect fast results. It is well worth trying, however you may need to take it for 2-3 months, before any difference is noticed.
