The power of plants

Originating from the Balkans and dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, the horse chestnut tree was known in ancient times for its medicinal properties. In the 19th century, a French doctor revealed its benefits in treating circulatory problems. Traditionally, horse chestnut extract and horse chestnut escin are recognized for their draining properties which have a positive action on the microcirculation.
