In Germany, Horse Chestnut Seed Extract Find Application in Treatment of Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Horse chestnut seed extract has a long history of use as a medicinal herb. It is also used to help alleviate coughing and as a cough suppressant. In Germany, horse chestnut extracts are used for the treatment of vascular problems. The extracts reduce phlebitis (vein inflammation) and increase vein tone in cases of chronic venous insufficiency. It is one of the more interesting herbs in the world because of the way it provides benefits that can be attributed to many other plants.
Horse chestnuts are extracted from the horse chestnut tree with a process known as chelation. Chelation therapy involves the administration of sodium or potassium together with water to the affected area to remove the toxins that have accumulated in an affected area. There are several factors that influence the solubility of toxins in the blood, including the pH level of the blood, the concentration and type of toxins, the activity of the liver and the status of the kidney.
Two major groups of enzymes are activated by the consumption of the horse chestnut seed extract. The alkaline proteases and the citrate lyase enzymes. These two enzymes are important for the digestive process and may prevent diseases such as gallstones, gallbladder cancer, and heart disease. The seeds are the source of alkaline proteases and are used in many preparations. However, some research has indicated that the alkaline proteases found in the seeds may inhibit the action of some medications used to treat diseases of the kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and colon.
The third enzyme group, the citrate lyase, aids in
the digestion of fats. Horse chestnut seed extract contains a large number of
citrate lyase enzymes. It is the contents of the tree that provide the
necessary acidic substrate for the digestion of fat. The horse chestnut seed
extracts are used for diabetes and other diseases of the blood sugar systems.
Aescin is one of the horse chestnut extracts that have been studied for the
treatment of leg pain due to rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative
conditions. It has been found to be very effective in reducing inflammation and
swelling in the arthritic regions. Aescin, together with the horse chestnut
extract, can reduce the pain and swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis by
about 40%. The combination of equine enzymes has the potential to be extremely
helpful in treating this disease.
