What is Aesculus glabra?

Aesculus glabra , also known as Horse Chestnut or Buckeye, is a northern American species similar to European type aesculus hippocastanum . Both species have healing properties. The bark, leaves and seeds are traditionally used as a herbal remedy for inflammatory conditions, skin problems and vascular disease, including varicose veins. However, Aesculus glabra can be poisonous when it is consumed in high doses. This herbal remedy is therefore best used under professional supervision. The tree components contain a compound known as Aescin, which can support the health of the veins, reduce inflammation and even in some cases to fight infection when administered in suitable doses. Horse chestnut extract can be administered locally or internally to treat conditions in the extent of eczema and diarrhea after varicose veins, ulcers and black cough. Flavonoids and tannins in Aesculus glabra can help prevent oxidative damage by free radicals to support long -term health. Some believe that antioxiDantas found in Horse chestnut extract help to promote leg health and can prevent deep thrombosis lived in people who are at risk for it, including those who undergo frequent long aircraft trips.

Aesculus glabra grows wild in the eastern United States. In the eastern state of Ohio, it is so predominant that some refer to it as an "Ohio Buckeye". It can be cultivated in almost any slight climate. The bark, seeds and leaves are usually harvested for use in autumn.

The seeds of the Buckey tree can be toxic when people eat and some livestock like cattle. However, the Ester Chextract can be safely used or used externally if acceptable doses are adhered to. Typical used doses begin at 90 to 150 mg daily.

The

dose is usually reduced to 35 to 70 mg daily when the symptoms begin to improve. Local treatment that is usedThe treatment of skin conditions, wounds and ulcers should not include more than 0.2 to 1.0 grams of Aescin per day. Since Aesculus glabra can be toxic to people, users are generally recommended to seek the advice of a doctor or a qualified herbalist and use this herbal drug only under professional supervision.
