Does anyone here know if horse chestnut helps to prevent vericose veins or can it actually heal them. I just found out that I have one. It's very painful. And does it have any effects to to low carb way of life ,like will it cause weight gain or any other side affects.
Thanks,
Josie

Hi Josie, I have very minor var. veins but I heard great things about Horse Chesnut. However, after small dose for only 2 days I started to itch like mad. Wasn't taking anything else new at the time so stopped taking it and never tried again.

I think it has been proven to help though. Keep in mind that fixing varicose veins is much easier now than it used to be thanks to the use of lasers.

Since I started taking it my stomache started hurting , & yesterdary I threw up. I think it's caused by the horsechestnut.
It sounds like you are allergic to it. I don't want to get treatment for it right now , I'm finally finished paying for husbands surgery, & we are fixin to build a house.
