Applications:<\/strong><\/td>\nHorse chestnuts and horse chestnuts (a similar but often smaller North American species of the same genus) look somewhat like true chestnuts in appearance, but are edible only after careful preparation. The horse chestnut wood is soft and has been used for paper pulp and carpentry, wooden articles and other similar purposes. A compound derived from horse chestnut, esculin, is a pharmaceutical agent used as an astringent and anti-inflammatory<\/span>.
There is an unproven belief that horse chestnut increases the strength and tone of veins in particular, which is why horse chestnut extract is often used to treat phlebitis, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
