Aesculus hippocastanum, derived from the horse chestnut, or more precisely from its fruit, is a homeopathic remedy widely used in proctology and angiology.
The Horse Chestnut is a relatively common plant, especially in urban areas, where it can even be found in public gardens.
It is a tree that can live up to 300 years and reach a height of 30 metres.
In homeopathy, Aesculus Hippocastanum is an effective remedy for very painful haemorrhoidal attacks accompanied by severe fatigue and digestive disorders.
Proctology indications
Proctology is a branch of medicine that specialises in the study of diseases related to the anus and rectum.
The proctological diseases cured by Aesculus Hippocastanum are mainly haemorrhoids.
Aesculus Hippocastanum is particularly recommended for severe haemorrhoids accompanied by back pain.
The patient feels as if there are small sticks or needles in the rectum.
The passage of the latter seems to be blocked by the swelling of the mucous membranes of the anus.
After defecation, the patient feels a sharp pain accompanied by a sensation of rectal prolapse.
This condition mainly affects people whose pain is aggravated by the cold, after a meal or after physical exertion.
Angiology indications
Angiology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders related to the veins and arteries.
Aesculus Hippocastanum is a well-known homeopathic remedy for pathologies related to this area.
The disorders discussed here mainly correspond to venous congestion, sometimes causing varicose veins and varicose ulcers.
Venous congestion causes circulatory insufficiency, which has negative effects throughout the body.
It can affect the throat, brain, eyes, digestive tract and rectum, and can lead to haemorrhoidal attacks.
It can also affect the patient's mental state.
In this case, the patient becomes apathetic or very sad, and often becomes very angry.
Venous congestion can also affect the female genitals.
In this case, it is the uterus that is affected, with lumbosacral pain and palpitations felt in this organ.
