The Horse Chestnut Tree

Horse Chestnut, part of the Sapindaceae family, is unrelated to Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa). Native to the mixed forests of the Pindus Mountains and the Balkans in Southeast Europe, this tree has become a common sight in parks and streets across temperate regions.

Growing up to 40 meters (131 feet) tall and living for up to 300 years, Horse Chestnut thrives in full sun or partial shade and moist conditions but cannot tolerate dry soil. Its majestic presence is matched by its historical use for circulatory health.

Alkalizing Support

Once elimination is optimized, include Horse Chestnut in protocols alongside kidney and nervous system support for:

Note: The action of Horse Chestnut is repair, not protection. For vein protection, consider Rowan, Sweet Chestnut, Mistletoe, Almond, or Olive Gemmo.
