Hilde Hemmes Herbals Horse Chestnut 1600mg 60 Capsules

Assists in the management of aching legs, swelling, tension, puritis (itching), cramps in the calves associated with enlarged varicose veins and feeling of heaviness in the legs. Temporarily alleviates pain while walking associated with poor circulation in the legs

Horse chestnut is a native of the Balkans and was used for treating horses that were "broken winded" - hence its name.

Clinical trials have determined that Horse chestnut is one of the best herbal ingredients for the relief of varicose veins and associated symptoms. Studies have shown that it helps protect the integrity of veins and strengthens vein walls.

It is one of the most prescribed herbs by doctors in Europe, particularly Germany. Its unique action is mainly due to the component 'escin' that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant actions (in vivo). Clinically, escin has shown to maintain the health of capillaries.

Medicinal Use

Horse chestnut has a toning and strengthening effect on vein walls as it improves blood flow to the legs. Many clinical trials have shown that its vascular-tightening effect makes it suitable for the symptomatic relief of varicose veins and varicose ulcers.

Horse chestnut assists in the management of aching legs, and the swelling, tension, puritis (itching) and cramps in the calves associated with enlarged varicose veins.

Take horse chestnut regularly to temporarily alleviate pain while walking (associated with poor circulation in the legs).
