It is very difficult to overcome varicose veins. This is an insidious and complex disease, for the treatment of which surgery is often resorted to. But traditional medicine knows a wonderful remedy that healers used hundreds of years ago to combat vascular pathology. Chestnut tincture will help against varicose veins; its recipe has been known since the times of Ancient Greece. Hippocrates said: “The doctor treats diseases, but Nature heals the sick.”
Varicose veins are a vein disease in which the walls of blood vessels are affected and thinned, their lumens expand, and “nodes” appear. As a result, the speed of blood flow slows down, and conditions are created for the formation of blood clots. They can clog a vein and provoke the development of a serious complication - thrombophlebitis, as well as the formation of trophic ulcers. Therefore, it is imperative to pay attention to the pathology in its infancy and try to eliminate the symptoms without allowing the condition to worsen.
Varicose veins can be either an independent disease or accompany other pathologies - hemorrhoids, prostatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation of the uterus. Very often, varicose veins hit the legs like a scourge. Visually, it appears as a network of blue, curved vessels on the legs with nodes along their entire length. Varicose veins not only disfigure the legs, but also cause severe physical discomfort - a feeling of heaviness, burning and pain.
One of the strong anti-inflammatory drugs for varicose veins and thrombophlebitis is a tincture prepared from chestnut fruits.
Phlebologists (doctors who treat veins) recommend using chestnut tincture as a stand-alone remedy or in the complex treatment of varicose veins.
The chestnut fruit (its seed) is a large shiny dark brown kernel in a three-leaf green capsule with thorns. These kernels, familiar to city dwellers, lie under everyone’s feet in the fall, and few people know what powerful healing properties they have. Their chemical composition is unique: the formula contains more than 25 types of flavonoids, vitamins B, P, E, substances such as saponins, purines, tannins, fatty oils and styrene.
Tannins compact the venous walls, make them smooth and impenetrable, cover them with a kind of protective protein film, eliminating fragility and fragility, and also protecting the veins from penetration of microbes through the walls.
Saponins are complex active compounds, “natural soap”. They have bactericidal, disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. They return tone to the veins, disperse stagnant blood and lymph.

And a month later the veins completely disappeared.”
An advanced stage of the disease can cause irreversible consequences, such as gangrene, blood poisoning. Often the life of a person with an advanced stage can only be saved by amputation of a limb.
Under no circumstances should the disease be started!
We recommend reading the article by the head of the Institute of Phlebology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Medical Sciences of Russia Viktor Mikhailovich Semenov.
A sedentary lifestyle, working on your feet, heavy physical activity, heredity are the reasons why a huge part of the population of our planet develops varicose veins. It becomes a problem for people at a fairly young working age and reduces the quality of life.
Getting rid of varicose veins using modern medical methods is a rather expensive “pleasure”. Traditional medicine comes to the rescue; the main thing is to start treatment on time. One of these folk remedies is horse chestnut, which is good for varicose veins.
Most often, people who are forced to work on their feet or in a static sitting position suffer from this disease. Why? Venous blood, flowing upward contrary to the law of gravity, needs a “pump”. During movement, these are the muscles that contract and push the blood upward. If this movement does not exist, the functioning of the venous valves is disrupted and blood stagnation forms in the vessels, stretching them.
The disease has several stages:
The next two stages are the formation of trophic ulcers of varying severity. We will not talk about disease prevention, the need for movement to prevent illness - this is obvious. It is important to recognize the symptoms of the disease in time and begin treatment as early as possible. Perhaps it can be stopped at the very beginning.
This is where good old folk recipes for horse chestnut remedies for varicose veins will come in handy. They can not only prevent and cure varicose veins at the initial stage, but also alleviate the later manifestations of the disease - trophic ulcers.
The benefits of a plant are determined by its composition. The healing properties of horse chestnut for varicose veins are due to the fact that it contains substances that improve blood flow, strengthen vascular walls, and prevent the formation of cholesterol plaques that narrow the lumen of blood vessels.
The kernels of the plant contain triterpene saponin - escin. It is this that helps strengthen the venous walls, prevents the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on them and makes the blood more fluid. In addition, saponins have an antibacterial effect, preventing inflammatory processes.
Another substance from the coumarin series is esculin. It prevents the formation of blood clots and edema, strengthens small vessels, preventing the appearance of rosacea.
Tannins contained in horse chestnut bind and fix protein on the walls of blood vessels, thereby strengthening and compacting them and making them less susceptible to irritation.
Another substance contained in horse chestnut is rutin. It reduces the permeability of small vessels and resolves cholesterol deposits in large ones. Their lumen increases and blood flow improves.
Flavonoids, in particular kaempferol, due to their regenerating effect, will help heal ulcers, have an anti-cancer effect, improve local metabolic processes and relieve inflammation.
The expected effect of using horse chestnut medicinal products against varicose veins can appear within a few weeks after the start of their use. The swelling of the legs noticeably decreases, the heaviness ceases to bother you, previously swollen veins become invisible, and the itching goes away. Horse chestnut brings the greatest benefit in the initial stages of the disease.
Correct and timely procurement of medicinal raw materials is the key to the success of its use. All parts of the miracle plant are suitable for preparing potions for varicose veins. Flowers and leaves are collected in spring. They need to be washed and dried.
The fruits are harvested at the very beginning of their ripening, when they become round. The later you collect them, the less benefit they will bring. Before you put the fruits to dry, you need to peel them. There is no need to throw it away; it will be useful for preparing the tincture. There is no need to peel all the fruits, since the tincture is prepared from whole chestnuts. Dry raw materials only in a well-ventilated area. Duration – 30 days.
Treatment of varicose veins with horse chestnut is not available to everyone; it has contraindications - absolute and temporary. Temporary ones include:
If you have any chronic diseases, consult your doctor before using horse chestnut to treat varicose veins. Given the plant’s property of thinning the blood, it is necessary to do a blood test before undertaking treatment.
To treat varicose veins, tincture, flower juice, decoctions, ointments and horse chestnut baths are used. To achieve the greatest effect, you can combine different methods.
The juice is squeezed out of chestnut flowers, they drink it and rub it on sore veins. The ointment is applied to the feet, compresses are made with it and diluted in water for foot baths. A decoction is made from the peel of the fruit for oral administration. But most often a tincture is prepared from horse chestnut.
Having such a medicinal plant as horse chestnut in your arsenal, it is advisable to use all possible recipes that the folk medicine offers us.
They can be made from different parts of the plant.
The juice is squeezed from fresh flowers. You can take 2.5 ml of it after meals or rub it on sore veins.
For infusion, use ground chestnut bark. It is poured with cool boiled water and left for 8 hours. Proportions – 1 teaspoon of raw material per 400 ml of water. Take 3 teaspoons 4 times a day.
Vaseline, butter or cocoa butter are used as a base.
This ointment is suitable for rubbing and compresses. You need to lubricate sore spots with ointment several times a day. The compress is usually applied overnight. The affected areas are generously lubricated with ointment, wrapped in film and insulated.

Such baths are good for relieving swelling and heaviness in the legs. You need to take them for 10 - 15 minutes, then it is advisable to lie down for an hour.

Moreover, the possibility and effectiveness of external use of the medicinal plant is noted, if oral use is contraindicated or impossible due to the presence of alcohol in tinctures. A noticeable improvement is confirmed even after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment.

In addition to pain, swelling and vascular networks, it also leads to the fact that your legs will not look very aesthetically pleasing, and this also creates psychological discomfort.
