The tree produces fruits that are made up of a spiny capsule containing one to three large seeds, known as horse chestnuts. Traditionally, many of the aerial parts of the horse chestnut tree, including the seeds, leaves, and bark, were used in medicinal preparations. Modern extracts of horse chestnut are usually made from the seeds, which are high in the active constituent aescin (also known as escin).TerriLynne <terri_lynne@...> wrote: Dear Suzi,I am wondering, when you speak of horse chestnut, if you are speaking ofthe nuts or of some other part of the tree?
