Horse chestnut is a seed
extract. One of its main active components is aescin, which may reduce
inflammation and increase the tone of veins. It also reduces the release
of enzymes, which is typically increased in chronic diseases of the
vein. Other compounds in horse chestnut generally increase the tone
of blood vessels and decrease their permeability. Another compound called
aesculetin may act as an anticoagulant and blood thinner, and is therefore
often excluded from over-the-counter horse chestnut products.
