Hilde Hemmes Herbal’s 60 Vegetarian Capsules, Horse Chestnut 1600mg
Horse chestnut is a native of the Balkans and was used for treating horses that were “broken winded” – hence its name. It is one of the most prescribed herbs in Europe, particularly Germany. Its unique action is mainly due to the component ‘escin’ that is used to maintain the health of capillaries.
Horse Chestnut has been traditionally used in western herbal medicine to:
• relieve mild rheumatic aches and pains
• relieve mild nerve pain / neuralgia
• relieve symptoms of haemorrhoids
• support general health and wellbeing.
Directions For Use
Adults – take one capsule twice daily for at least 4 weeks. There are no restrictions on duration of use.

Hilde Hemmes
Born from a background and knowledge in herbs, Hilde Hemmes is the creative and inspirational energy behind her family-owned company, Herbal Supplies Pty Ltd. As Australia’s leading therapeutic herbal tea manufacturer, Hilde and her family take pride in being independent, competitive, flexible and fully-integrated, and their commitment to herbalism is still as strong as it was when the company was founded in 1985. Over the years Hilde has collected many rare, out-of-print books on herbs and their uses, and has discovered many valuable recipes and ancient formulae that may otherwise have been forgotten. She made a significant contribution to the Australian herbal industry as a pioneer of Swedish Bitters (a multi-purpose tonic) and the herb Epilobium parviflorum (also known as ProstaLobium®) which has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to maintain / support prostate health. Hilde Hemmes’ herbal products satisfy the demands of today’s consumers who are well-informed and expect paramount quality standards. In recent years, the popularity of herbal medicine has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the complementary healthcare market and today it is a booming industry! At Herbal Supplies, we concentrate all our resources on what we know and love best – herbs!
