Horse chestnut is a medicinal plant prepared by Naturlider under the strictest quality standards to preserve all its active ingredients. These have anti-inflammatory, astringent, venotonic, and decongestant properties for the circulatory system, which help increase venous contractility, thus improving blood pressure in veins and arteries.

This refers to the circulatory system's ability to propel blood flow, which weakens with age. Therefore, by helping to strengthen blood vessel walls, it promotes the upward flow of blood, preventing clotting in the lower extremities.

Similarly, it promotes diuresis, helping to eliminate fluid retention that causes edema, a common condition in those with venous insufficiency. Escin also acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, helping to prevent and relieve hemorrhoids and phlebitis, as well as blood clots. It is also an excellent ally for improving the firmness of legs affected by cellulite.

These anti-inflammatory properties also help tone and strengthen the scalp, as they contribute to improved blood flow, thus nourishing the hair. Furthermore, the astringent properties of horse chestnut help relieve diarrhea.

Farmaciasdirect recommends the consumption of this medicinal plant to those who suffer from conditions such as venous insufficiency, varicose veins, phlebitis and inflammation in hemorrhoids.

People with diarrhea, fluid retention, and hair loss will especially benefit from the use of horse chestnut.
