Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is a member of the Sapindaceae plant family, and has been utilized in Balkan folk medicine for generations. The positive actions include its ability to act as an astringent, which supports its role in helping to contract veins and aid with lymph flow to reduce venous congestion. Horse chestnut can be useful as a topical applicant when added to ointments and gels. Direct consumption of the raw botanical is discouraged due to specific compounds that demand meticulous processing.
Our focus of decades of research on each product strikes the perfect chord in delivering the botanical’s inherent benefits. Its presence is esteemed for its utility in fostering a balanced, holistic wellness journey. It is crucial to note that while Horse Chestnut assumes a functional role in our collection, it is most often used topically and as a standardized extract.
