Description:

Horse chestnut seed extract, 1:1 from Aesculus hippocastanum in Ethanol and Purified Water

Traditional Uses: Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) has been used for centuries as a treatment for dysentery, bronchitis, hemorrhoids, and venous problems in folk medicine. Clinical studies support its use in chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, and postoperative edema. Studies have also confirmed that horse chestnut seed extracts and escin (major active saponin content) possess antiinflammatory, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, antibacterial, and hypoglycemic activities.

Alcoholic extracts usually contain a mixture of escins, which may exert anti-inflammatory action, decrease capillary permeability, and help prevent post-operative edema, and aesculins, which improves vascular resistance, thus aiding in toning vein walls. This action is beneficial for hemorrhoids, varicose veins, leg ulcers, and frostbite. 

Warning: Because of the coumarin component of horse chestnut, it may interact with anticoagulant drugs, herbs, or supplements, which might affect platelet aggregation. At recommended doses no significant adverse reactions are reported.

Cosmetic Topical Use: Horse Chestnut Extract has found favor in creams as its reputed to cosmetically reduce the appearance of varicose veins, and assist in providing comfort when dealing with swelling or inflammation of joints and muscles.
