Aesculus compositum

The most effective homeopathic medicine prescribed for circulatory problems is Aesculus compositum. Composite preparation based on horse chestnut. This remedy normalizes blood circulation and helps get rid of problems caused by a lack of nutrients and oxygen in cells. These include heart diseases, phlebitis, diseases of the digestive system, musculoskeletal system, upper respiratory tract.

Horse chestnuts are moisture-loving and prefer loamy soils containing lime. They tolerate urban conditions well, but in industrial areas they suffer from smoke and gases. Source: flickr (berenice carroll).

PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION

Aesculus

primarily affects the liver and portal vein system, causing stagnation and blockage of the veins.
The veins seem to be filled with heavy, thick blood, and the pressure which is felt in them is manifested by the slowing down of the activity of certain organs, chiefly the brain and the digestive tract, and the dilatation of the choroid plexuses, resulting in hemorrhoids and enlargement of the veins. Anything that increases this venous congestion (sleep, hot bath) worsens the patient's condition, and anything that promotes circulation (cold, moderate exercise) brings relief. Aesculus
acts primarily on the rectum and anus.

External or internal HAEMORROIDAL CONES are purple in color, very painful, rarely bleeding, with pulsation and pain in the lumbosacral region characteristic of this remedy.

DISPLACEMENT OF THE UTERUS, inflammation; yellow, dark, sticky, corrosive leucorrhoea, with a feeling of weakness in the back.

Runny nose, very similar to Arsenicum

: light, watery and burning discharge, especially with a feeling of abrasion, sensitive when inhaling cold air.

FOLLICULAR PHARINGITIS due to congestion in the liver, the veins of the pharynx are tortuous and dilated.

Indications for use

The medicine is prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from a pathology in which the cardiovascular system cannot cope with the function of providing blood supply to tissues and organs. As a result, the walls of blood vessels are destroyed and metabolic processes are disrupted, which lead to pathologies such as:

• phlebitis (inflammation and destruction of venous walls);
• phlebeurysm;
• atherosclerosis, aortic stenosis;
• hemorrhoids, hemorrhoidal fissures of the anus;
• inflamed lymph nodes;
• ulcers of a gangrenous nature in diabetes mellitus;
• bedsores;
• brain dysfunction, disorders of the blood supply to the brain;
• headaches, dizziness;
• joint diseases.

The trigger mechanism in the development of varicose veins is considered to be a disruption of the normal functioning of the venous valves with the occurrence of reverse flow (reflux) of blood. Source: flickr (Dr. Robert A. Edwards)
