Forever: Unfortunately, horse chestnut can't and won't improve the appearance of varicose veins. Horse chestnut might make a difference in symptoms due to varicose veins, especially swelling. However, never be misled into thinking that it will make your varicose veins looks better. It won't.

May not: Horse chestnut pills may not improve the appearance of varicose veins. It's more likely that this supplement may reduce leg discomfort and leg swelling caused by varicose veins. See a vein specialist- a phlebologist (http://www.Phlebology.Org/) to evaluate your condition and give you treatment recommendations.

Forever.: There is no medical evidence to document that horse chestnut will improve the appearance of varicose veins. Homeopathic supplements such as horse chestnut, escin, diosmin and bioflavonoids are just that-supplements. They are not 1st line treatment for varicose veins. It would be prudent for you to have a venous evaluation by a vein specialist.
