If your varicose veins are severe and the issue longstanding, it may take a little longer. While multiple clinical trials have researched the benefits of horse chestnut for vein problems, other potential health benefits have been investigated in only a few, small trials or only tested in animals and cells. More clinical research is needed to confirm their preliminary results. Drug Interactions In general, horse chestnut gel, which acts by activating the circulatory system, helps to reveal very positive results, especially for the skin. Massaging your feet and ankles is a good way to get fluid moving and reduce swelling.
