Horse Chestnut Extract for Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a common anorectal condition, and lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting or standing, a diet high in spicy foods, and poor bowel habits can increase the risk of developing the condition. They cause discomfort such as hematochezia, pain, and swelling, which seriously affect people’s daily lives. The core active ingredient in horse chestnut extract is aescin, which has significant anti-inflammatory and anti-exudative effects. It can effectively reduce perianal tissue edema, enhance venous tone, and improve local microcirculation, helping to alleviate the pain and distension caused by hemorrhoids.

Why Does Horse Chestnut Extract Have Effective Benefits for Hemorrhoids?

Anti-inflammatory and detumescent effect, relieving perianal swelling and pain

The core active ingredient, aescin, can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and reduce the exudation of local tissue fluid, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response during hemorrhoid flare-ups from the root cause. Meanwhile, it can quickly reduce perianal swelling and relieve the pain caused by nerve compression due to tissue swelling, improving the distress of hemorrhoid patients who struggle to sit or stand comfortably.

Enhancing venous tone and improving perianal microcirculation

Aescin is able to boost the elasticity and toughness of venous walls, reduce venous vascular permeability, and promote the reflux of stagnant blood in the perianal area. By improving the local poor blood circulation, it reduces the tortuosity and dilation of venous plexuses, further alleviating the symptoms of internal hemorrhoid prolapse and external hemorrhoid distension, as well as lowering the probability of hematochezia.

Reducing tissue compression and relieving defecation discomfort

Through the dual effects of improving microcirculation and reducing edema, it lessens the compression of swollen tissues on the surrounding perianal nerves. At the same time, it relieves the stinging pain caused by fecal friction and extrusion on hemorrhoid lesions during defecation, helping patients restore normal defecation habits and avoid the aggravation of hemorrhoid problems caused by intentional bowel retention due to defecation pain.

Why Should You Choose Horse Chestnut Extract for Hemorrhoids?

To avoid surgical risks

Choosing horse chestnut extract for hemorrhoid treatment eliminates the need for invasive surgical procedures. Through mild external application or oral administration, it exerts anti-inflammatory, detumescent, and microcirculation-improving effects, precisely relieving hemorrhoid-related discomfort such as pain and hematochezia. It also provides a safe and feasible conditioning solution for patients who are intolerant to surgery, minimizing risks and physical burdens throughout the treatment process.

Professional extraction for toxin removal

It should be clarified that raw horse chestnut fruit does contain toxic components, which can cause harm to the human body if used directly—this is the key reason why it cannot be directly applied for hemorrhoid conditioning.

However, our horse chestnut extract is processed via professional modern extraction technologies. While retaining core active ingredients (e.g., aescin), it removes or limits the toxic components from the raw fruit to a safe range through precise separation and purification steps.

How to Use Horse Chestnut Extract for Hemorrhoids?

Based on the core efficacy of horse chestnut extract—anti-inflammatory, detumescent, enhancing venous tension, and improving microcirculation—and in combination with the different symptoms of hemorrhoids and administration requirements, a variety of targeted products have been developed with specific applications as follows:

For external ointments/suppositories/gels/oil

The ointment/cream/oil has a mild and spreadable texture, which can be directly applied to the surface of external hemorrhoids and perianal skin to form a protective film for sustained efficacy. Both dosage forms can reduce systemic absorption and lower the risk of side effects.

For dietary supplements

With high-purity horse chestnut extract as the core ingredient, it can be compounded with grape seed extract as needed. Relying on the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair effects of proanthocyanidins in grape seeds, it forms a synergistic effect with the venous tension-enhancing function of horse chestnut extract.

For external wet wipes

These products use soft non-woven fabric as the carrier, soaked with a mild formula solution containing horse chestnut extract. Free of alcohol, essence, fluorescent agents, and other irritating ingredients, they are ready to use upon opening. While cleaning perianal dirt, the extract can directly act on the affected area, featuring excellent portability.
