Horse Chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum
Horse Chestnut Gemmo is a powerful tonic for veins and vein walls, resolving vascular inflammation and thinning the blood to support flow and prevent clots. It targets the lower torso, benefiting the lungs, abdomen, and legs with its efficient and restorative action.
Why Olena Loves Horse Chestnut Gemmo
I appreciate how efficiently Horse Chestnut goes straight to work, improving circulation and promoting the flow of fluids throughout the body. It’s a practical and impactful extract for vascular health.
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.
Within the Restoring Immunity System
Nervous System Support
Horse Chestnut does not have a direct action on the nervous system.
Elimination Support
Horse Chestnut does not have a direct action on elimination.
Alkalizing Support
Once elimination is optimized, include Horse Chestnut in protocols alongside kidney and nervous system support for:
- Hemorrhoids
- Heavy Legs
- Premenstrual Menstrual Cramping
Note: The action of Horse Chestnut is repair, not protection. For vein protection, consider Rowan, Sweet Chestnut, Mistletoe, Almond, or Olive Gemmo.
Acute Applications
Horse Chestnut can be used in protocols for acute hemorrhoid flares when combined with Rowan and Black Currant.
