Tannins (tannins) will compact and fixprotein molecules in the vein envelope, make them impenetrable and smooth. Tannins taste astringent. For example, the mucous membrane of the mouth "dubes" (becomes dense) from them. The same happens with venous vessels: their walls become denser, fragility disappears, they are covered with a protective film, which prevents the penetration of infection, irritating substances.

Saponins (sapo - soap) - natural soapsubstances, possess a bactericidal, therefore, anti-inflammatory property. In chestnuts is present in the form of escin. This explains the use for the washing of the hands of the kernels of matured chestnuts. The therapeutic effect of escin is that it tones up the veins, drives the stagnant blood, relieves puffiness, reduces lymph flow.

Glycosides of the cumarinic series esculin and fractinhave a delicate anticoagulant effect - dilute blood, and it accelerates its current through the veins. Improved blood circulation gives a resolving effect - trophic ulcers ("flowers" of varicose veins) are tightened.

Routine reduces vascular fragility and capillary permeability, dissolves cholesterol deposits, lowers blood pressure, relieves allergy and swelling.
