Castaño de Indias, known in English as Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), is a traditional herbal remedy widely used to support circulation and vein health. The seeds of the horse chestnut tree contain powerful plant compounds—especially aescin—that help strengthen blood vessel walls, reduce inflammation, and improve overall venous tone. For generations, this herb has been trusted to ease discomfort associated with varicose veins, spider veins, leg swelling, and poor circulation.
How the Tincture Is Used for Varicose Veins
A Castaño de Indias tincture is a concentrated liquid extract that allows the body to absorb the herb quickly and effectively. It is often used as part of a natural wellness routine to help reduce the appearance and discomfort of varicose veins.
Typical Use:
Internal:
Add 15–30 drops of tincture to a small amount of water, 1–2 times daily. This supports circulation from the inside out by promoting stronger, healthier veins and reducing inflammation.
(Always follow your herbalist’s or healthcare professional’s guidance.)
