Derived from the horse chestnut tree, more precisely from its fruit, Aesculus Hippocastanum is a homeopathic remedy that is very widespread in the field of proctology and angiology. The horse chestnut tree is a relatively common plant, especially in urban areas where it can be found even in public gardens. It is a tree that can live up to 300 years and grow up to 30 meters tall. In homeopathy, Aesculus Hippocastanum is a remedy that acts effectively against very painful hemorrhoid attacks accompanied by significant fatigue and disorders affecting the digestive system.
Proctology
is a branch of medicine that specializes in the study of diseases related to the anus and rectum. The proctological diseases that are treated by Aesculus Hippocastanum are mainly hemorrhoids. Aesculus Hippocastanum is especially recommended in cases of severe hemorrhoids accompanied by back pain. The patient feels like small sticks or needles stuck in his rectum. The passage of the latter seems to be blocked because of the swelling of the mucous membranes of the anus. After defecation, the patient feels a sharp pain accompanied by a sensation of prolapse of the rectum. This mainly concerns people whose suffering is aggravated by the cold, after a meal or after any physical effort.
Indications in Anesthesiology
Angeiology is a medical field that deals with disorders related to veins and arteries. Aesculus Hippocastanum is a well-known homeopathic remedy for pathologies related to this field. The disorders we are talking about here correspond mainly to venous congestion, sometimes causing varicose veins and varicose ulcers. Venous congestion causes circulatory insufficiency, which has harmful repercussions on the entire body. It can affect the pharynx, brain, eyes, digestive tract and rectum and can lead to hemorrhoid attacks. It can also have effects on the patient's mental state. In this case, the latter shows an apathetic character or great sadness and often ends up becoming very angry. In addition, venous congestion also affects the female genitalia. In this case, it is the uterus that is affected with lumbosacral pain and throbbing felt in this organ.
Recommended dosage in case of haemorrhoids
In the event of a haemorrhoid, Aesculus Hippocastanum 5 CH should be taken systematically at a rate of 5 granules every two hours. Since hemorrhoids are relieved by the cold, it is also advisable to take a sitz bath or put on compresses. The recommended intake in case of hemorrhoids caused by venous congestion is 4 to 6 doses per day.
Recommended dosage in case of venous disorders
For cases of painful venous congestion, a low dilution should be chosen. Aesculus hippocastanum 6 DH should be taken in drops before the meal and Aesculus hippocastanum 5 CH in granules. In case of congestion and constipation in women, Aesculus hippocastanum 6 DH is strongly recommended to quickly put an end to the various discomforts associated with it.
