Horse chestnut is an important source of bioflavonoids and proanthocyanidins, ingredients known for their antioxidant properties. Its fruit is rich in tannin, flavones, starch, oil, as well as the glycosides aesculin and fraxin, substances that are astringent and particularly tonic for the circulatory system. Horse Chestnut oil, extracted from the seeds of the fruit, is a traditional remedy for vein health.
It particularly soothes the vessels of the circulatory system, protecting and toning the capillaries, enhancing blood flow and fluid exchange between cell membranes. It relieves symptoms of tingling, pains, itching, fatigue, and feelings of heaviness or cold associated with poor blood circulation in the legs. It especially helps legs with phlebitis. It is also beneficial in combating rheumatism, varicose veins, phlebitis, arteriosclerosis, and hemorrhoids. It also helps reduce swelling (edema) after injury, especially in sports injuries or after surgery. For some years now, the beneficial use of the oil in skin problems has also been evident, as it helps combat cellulite and skin aging
Special Note! The oil should not be used on cracked skin because the saponins in its composition may cause irritation. Also, it is not for consumption
