This tincture uses organic horse chestnut seed. Our herb guide identifies Horse Chestnut as Aesculus hippocastanum. The botanical name identifies the species, while the plant part tells you which material is used.

For the plant’s wider background, read our Horse Chestnut Herbal Information.

3. The botanical behind the tincture

Our herb guide discusses aescin, also known as escin, alongside flavonoids, tannins and other botanical constituents. Information about plant chemistry is not a promise about this product’s effects.

No amount of any individual constituent is stated for this tincture. Its 1:2 preparation ratio is not a measurement of aescin or a statement of standardised constituent content. Research on other preparations should not be assumed to apply to this finished tincture.

4. Why horse chestnut seed?

Seed is the selected plant material for this preparation, rather than bark, leaves or flowers. Identifying the plant part clarifies what is extracted; it does not imply therapeutic superiority. Different plant parts should not be treated as interchangeable product descriptions.

5. A single-herb tincture

Horse Chestnut is the only herbal ingredient, rather than a blend of herbs. Alcohol and water form the extraction liquid.

Ingredients:

  • Organic horse chestnut seed
  • Organic gluten-free alcohol
  • Filtered spring water

6. Understanding the 1:2 ratio

Home Herbs Organic Horse Chestnut Tincture is prepared at a 1:2 ratio, as are all Home Herbs tinctures. This describes one part herbal starting material in relation to two parts extraction liquid, according to the production method.

This ratio describes preparation, not dosage or alcohol percentage. It does not prove that a tincture is stronger, better or more effective than one prepared at another ratio.
