Function
Support for Vein Health
Horse chestnut extract inhibits the enzyme hyaluronidase, reducing vein permeability and fragility. This extract improves vein tone and enhances blood flow.
Traditional Medicinal Uses
In folk medicine, horse chestnut extract was used to treat conditions like diarrhea and hemorrhoids. Additionally, it was traditionally brewed into tea to alleviate arthritis, rheumatic pain, and coughs.
Topical Applications
Historically, horse chestnut extract was applied to the skin for treating sores and rashes. While aesculin, a bark component, is still used in European sunscreens, topical use of the extract itself has declined.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Effective in reducing inflammation.
Swelling Reduction
Horse chestnut extract has been used to decrease swelling from cerebral edema, trauma, or surgery, and to treat venous insufficiencies.
Vascular Protection
Exhibits anti-exudative effects, restoring capillary permeability, protecting blood vessels, and reducing blood viscosity.
Application
Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Swelling Benefits

Cosmetic Applications
