Aesculus hippocastanum
Horse chestnut is a large tree native to southeastern Europe whose seed extract is one of the best-studied herbal remedies for chronic venous insufficiency. Its primary compound, aescin, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and venotonic properties. Raw horse chestnuts are toxic; only standardized, processed extracts should be used.
Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is a large tree native to southeastern Europe; its seed extract is one of the best-studied herbal remedies for chronic venous insufficiency. The primary active compound, aescin, demonstrates anti-inflammatory and venotonic properties, while flavonoids and proanthocyanidins contribute additional antioxidant and vascular protective effects. Only standardized, processed extracts should be used, as raw seeds contain toxic glycosides.
Aescin inhibits leukocyte activation and reduces capillary permeability by stabilizing lysosomal membranes and decreasing the release of inflammatory mediators. It also enhances venous tone by stimulating prostaglandin F2α synthesis and reduces edema by inhibiting hyaluronidase activity. Additionally, flavonoids such as kaempferol provide antioxidant effects that protect vascular endothelium from oxidative stress.
