Blood flow to every parts of our body starting from the heart and back to it. As it went back to heart, the blood from the lower part of our body needs to go against the gravity force. Our leg’s muscle will offer sufficient force to push the blood upwards to the heart. But the problem is when you’re not providing sufficient movement to the muscle to give it the energy to aids the blood. It happened when you’re standing or sitting for a very long time for a whole day.
What happen to the bloods which cannot go back to the heart? It will start to build up in the lower part of our body and the weak veins will be expected to be affected the most. The hemorrhoids symptoms will become a lot worse as the weak veins getting distended and stretched by the additional load of bloods.
What makes the extract of horse chestnut so potent? It contains a chemical saponin known as Aescin and it is surely helps to relieve hemorrhoids’ symptoms. As described by Europe herbalist, the venotonic effect facilitates to tighten the elastic fibers in the wall of the weak veins and lastly improves the tone of the veins.
Moreover, Aescin increased the venous tension to facilitate to increase the blood circulation. The inflammation caused by the hemorrhoids can be decreased too by the anti-inflammatory effect of Aescin.

The certain health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, blood clot disorder or vitamin K deficiency might be the one to look for as it is not in theory safe to use this herb with that condition.
The other things to take into account is do not take aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen or ketoprofen as it will increase the risk of bleeding when it is use at the same time with the horse chestnut seed extract.
