Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)
-The seed of the horse chestnut tree has been used to treat
various vein conditions for two centuries.
Today, horse chestnut extract is standardized and commonly used by herbalists
and official medicine in Europe and Asia for treating hemorrhoids.
Horse chestnut(standardized extract - 20% Aescin) extract contains aescin, which has
been shown to reduce inflammation, improve vein elasticity, strengthen vein walls and improve vein tone.
The extract reduces abnormally increased capillary permeability and the related
edemas.
A review article published in 1996 summarizes observations of more than 800 medical
practitioners on more than 5000 patients with chronic venous insufficiency who have taken a standardized extract of
Aesculus Hippocastanum.
They conclude that all examined symptoms (pain, fatigue, tension and swelling of the
legs as well as itching) “have improved significantly or faded away. A suggested dosage of standardized horse
chestnut extract is 300 milligrams every 12 hours, for up to 12 weeks (containing 50 to 75 milligrams of escin per
dose). A dose of 600mg of chestnut seed extract per day has also been studied.

symptoms disappeared, their hemorrhoids being cured completely sor they felt significantly better as compared
to only 23% of those taking placebo.
