The aescin content of horse chestnut seed extract has been shown to have an anti-exudative and vascular-tightening effect. This makes horse chestnut one of the best natural remedies for conditions of chronic venous insufficiency, including vericose veins, cramps in the calves, itching and swelling of the legs and a sensation of heaviness in the legs. Treatment of these conditions with horse chestnut seed extract should be accompanied by the complementary therapies such as supportive elastic stockings, leg compresses and cold water treatments for best results.
Discontinue use if you experience itching or nausea.
