Horse Chestnut

There are different varieties of Horse chestnut trees. The one that we are looking at for medicinal purposes is known in Latin as Aesculus Hippocastanum.

It is native to the Balkan Peninsula which are the countries in and around Greece, Albania and Macedonia although it is grown in the Northern Hemisphere countries.

The flowers, leaves, bark and the seeds are used to extract the medicinal product.

It is mainly known for its silicon properties and anti-flammatory properties. It is used for an array of ailments. Mainly it is used for varicose and spider veins.

Used for hemorrhoids to glue up broken veins. The anti-inflammatory properties helps in keeping the inflammation away.

This herb is often seen together with Butcher's Broom. It is consumed mainly as a capsule or a cream.

This is a herb I have not used personally, but some of the people that I have interviewed during my research have used this herb and were disappointed with the poor results.

Having said that, even if it did help in any way it is still not suffice to get rid of hemorrhoids for ever.

You would still need to consider the other treatments available to help with your hemorrhoids.
