Treating varicose veins with chestnut:

All parts of the chestnut tree have healing properties, including flowers, bark, and fruit. Preparations based on chestnut help reduce blood viscosity and strengthen blood vessels.

It is important to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods during treatment.

The chestnut tincture is prepared as follows: take 5 crushed chestnuts or their flowers, pour 1 liter of vodka, and infuse in a dark place for 7 days. Strain and take 30-35 drops in a tablespoon of water three times a day 30 minutes before meals.

This tincture can also be used for rubbing affected areas. Before using it, it is recommended to take a contrast shower for the legs, alternating hot and cold water.
