Horse Chestnut Seed Powder, 1 kg

Horse Chestnut, scientifically known as Aesculus hippocastanum, is a large deciduous tree native to the forests of southeastern Europe. It is widely cultivated and admired for its majestic stature and beautiful foliage. Horse Chestnut trees have a straight trunk with a broad canopy of compound palmate leaves, composed of several leaflets arranged in a fan-like pattern. In spring, the tree produces clusters of showy white or pink flowers with a distinctive shape. These flowers give way to spiky fruits known as conkers or horse chestnuts, which contain shiny brown seeds. Horse Chestnut has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. The seeds of the tree are particularly valued for their potential medicinal properties. They contain active compounds called escin or aescin, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and vasoprotective effects. Horse Chestnut seed extract is often used in the form of topical creams or gels to alleviate symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency, such as swelling, pain, and leg cramps. It is also used to support circulatory health and promote healthy veins.
