BOTANICAL NAME: Aesculus hippocastanum
-
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.
