The horse chestnut is a large tree that grows in parks and along streets and has a dominant role due to its size.
Children usually know very well the places where chestnuts are found, because there in autumn they find shiny red-brown chestnuts, which are wonderfully smooth to the touch and good to use as a crafting material.
Wild chestnut also has various medicinal effects, of which the effect on the circulatory system stands out. Therefore, wild chestnut is suitable for internal and external use in varicose veins, hemorrhoids, swollen legs, and also against arteriosclerosis.
Chestnut is revered because for centuries it was an important medicinal plant whose active ingredients are now well studied. Horse chestnut seeds are especially useful for vein diseases such as varicose veins because they clog the vein walls with their active ingredients. Its effect against leg cramps and heavy legs is also important because these health problems are very common.
