Only one fifth of the population have healthy veins.
Disturbances to the venous circulation occur mainly in the lower extremities
due to the greater pressure exerted on these veins.
Varicose veins and haemorrhoids appear when veins lose their elasticity.
Blood then accumulates, causing distension and swelling of the blood vessels.
Fluid is then forced into the surrounding tissue giving rise to oedema. This
can impede the circulation further, reducing tissue nutrition. In the legs, if
this process is prolonged, varicose eczema results.
This area of devitalised tissue becomes prone to damage. If trauma does
occur, the healing process is protracted giving rise to varicose ulcers.
Varicose veins and haemorrhoids are prone to inflammation (phlebitis). Many
cases of night cramps arise as a result of poor venous circulation.
There are many constituents found in Aesculus which are important
therapeutically-these include saponins (Aescin), flavonoids, tannins and
coumarins. Flavonoids exhibit an anti-inflammatory action, Tannins have
astringent properties, helping to tone the vessel walls. Aescin is the
constituent which appears to have the ability to inhibit oedema. If possesses
anti-inflammatory action and increases venous tone.
