Hilde Hemmes' Herbals Horse Chestnut 1600

BOTANICAL NAME: Aesculus hippocastanum

Horse Chestnut has been traditionally used in western herbal medicine to:

• relieve mild rheumatic aches and pains
• relieve mild nerve pain / neuralgia
• relieve symptoms of haemorrhoids
• support general health and wellbeing.

Horse chestnut is a native of the Balkans and was used for treating horses that were "broken winded" - hence its name. It is one of the most prescribed herbs in Europe, particularly Germany. Its unique action is mainly due to the component 'escin' that is used to maintain the health of capillaries.

WARNINGS
