Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) oil made with locally foraged nuts that I infuse into avocado oil. Horse chestnut contains a desired compound called aescin, which can be extracted using specific processes. I make this oil in a way that captures the aescin, but does not extract the compounds that create upset if ingested: esculin (esculin is found in the shell & outer hull of the nut, which I (laboriously:)) remove! Even so, please do not ingest this oil, it's for external use only. I don't share my processes for making this oil, but please know that it's much more complicated than just soaking the nuts into a carrier oil. I've done a great deal of research on the best way to extract the desired compounds of horse chestnut, and I hope you can tell this in the finished product! This is NOT an essential oil or a pressed oil - it's an oil infusion. Contains NUTS, please use discretion if you have nut allergies. The oil has a rich nutty scent & absorbs well. It naturally contains vit E, and pairs well with the avocado oil. I provide a made-on date for all my listings, and suggest you use the oil within a year of purchase. Please note that every batch can vary slightly in scent & color. This oil is refrigerated until sold. Made on 7/27/25.

Horse chestnuts are famous for their affinity to improve vein health. The chemical compound aescin has properties that enhance circulation, reduce inflammation & strengthen blood vessels. This oil also naturally contains vitamin E, which is fat soluble & can be absorbed through the skin.

An easy to apply and absorb supportive oil for varicose veins. I saw results in just a few weeks!
Love it so far just as described
At the moment, I am carefully analyzing the outcomes and checking how effective while making use of the product.
This item shipped fast and was packaged very well. The seller's communication was exceptional and provided a lot of information which is greatly appreciated. I purchased it to help with some broken capillaries and varicose veins but haven't tried it as of yet. I will post an update in the future if I have any luck with it. I know this can be difficult to treat but I believe this horse chestnut oil is a high-quality product made with love and great intentions. What could be better?
The best herbals on Etsy and I have tried many! What a blessing that this shop is here!
Love this oil! So great for my Vericose veins!
I'm trying this for the first time. It feels and smells good.
Well packed, arrived quickly and safely. Oil is smooth and clean, absorbs rapidly. Minimal smell; my cats did not run away from it.
Very invigorating on legs. I really like it.
Great product, will remain a loyal customer
The horse chestnut oil is helping with leg pain
I have been using this oil after first trying the vein salve. So far, it is keeping my varicose vein minimized so that I no longer need to use my compression socks! It makes my legs feel pleasant, and subtly tingly. I will buy more!
Cancel autoship for me please.
It's really helping with bad circulation
The chestnut oil is easy & light to apply to skin. Nice earthly scent😊
This oil is exactly what I’ve been looking for. So grateful to have found this seller and will definitely be back for more 🙏
Works so well. Super quick shipping. High quality ingredients.
I’m very excited about trying out this new oil. I try to use it twice a day (day and night) and thus far I like. Very light nutty aroma that is you can tolerate. I’m anxious to see what will some about but I’ll definitely post pix in a month or so
Everything on the store is high-quality and made with love.
Very helpful for orthostatic intolerance
Exactly what I needed. Used it to make a salve for my husband.
I've been using this on my face, mainly nose and chin area, and so far so good!
