Horse Chestnut - cut

Horse Chestnut Cut supports vascular integrity and leg comfort through its signature compound aescin. This herb provides minerals including potassium, calcium, and manganese, along with B vitamins. Scientifically identified as *Aesculus hippocastanum*, horse chestnut has been used in European phytomedicine to address venous insufficiency and promote healthy circulation. The cut form allows for traditional decoction preparation, releasing beneficial saponins and flavonoids. Traditionally steeped as a tea, it may help reduce swelling and support overall vascular tone. Horse chestnut contains coumarin compounds and should not be used by individuals taking anticoagulant medications without medical supervision. Pregnant and nursing individuals should avoid use. Those with kidney or liver disease, bleeding disorders, or scheduled surgery should consult a healthcare provider before consumption. Raw horse chestnut seeds are toxic; only use properly processed herbal preparations.
