Horse Chestnut Extract

Horse Chestnut first found growing  naturally  in  regions of Asia  and  north  Greece, today  the  horse  chestnut  tree  is  cultivated  in  many  areas  of  Europe  and  North America. Many of the parts of the horse chestnut tree, including the seeds, leaves, and bark, have been used medicinally.

Aescin  has  been  shown  to  promote  circulation  through  the  veins.  Aescin  fosters normal tone in the walls of the veins,thereby promoting return of blood to the heart. This has made both topical and internal horse chestnut extracts popular in Europe for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and, to a lesser extent, varicose veins. Aescin also  possesses anti-inflammatory  properties and has  been shown to reduce edema  (swelling  with  fluid)  following  trauma,  particularly  following  sports  injury, surgery, and head injury.
