Main properties
-
lymphatic draining :
chestnut is the bud macerate par excellence for toning lymphatic tissue and draining lymph. This allows it to cleanse it of its toxins, particularly certain chemicals, and to fight against self-intoxication. Chestnut bud macerate is particularly indicated in congestive phenomena and circulatory stasis, specifically of the lower limbs even if it also acts on the upper limbs. Lymphatic overload can further weaken nerve tissues, causing nerve spasms or pain. Chestnut therefore acts indirectly on the nervous system.
-
venous tonic :
chestnut bud macerate also acts on blood circulation by toning the vein wall. This action is perfectly complementary with its lymphatic effect: if the blood system is sluggish, the drainage of toxins may be less effective. By acting on both blood and lymphatic circulation, bud macerate therefore allows effective drainage of the body and deep tissues.
