Aesculus, the homeopathic remedy prepared from the horse chestnut herb, encloses a substance possessing anti-inflammatory and anti-edema properties called aestin. Aestin also has the aptitude to reduce capillary mobility, thereby, lessening the number as well as the size of the tiny pores on the walls of the capillary.

People suffering from hemorrhoids and associated symptoms generally experience a sharp pain that moves to the back along with shooting pains traveling from the rectum upwards to the back.

In addition, the dry stool also makes evacuating it difficult as well as painful and the patients constantly suffer from different discomforts. In order to prevent the condition from getting worse, such patients need to keep off heated seats, as using heated seats have a tendency to increase the pressure within the veins of the rectum.

It is advisable that people suffering from hemorrhoids or are susceptible to this painful condition should avoid heated seats while they are travelling by car on any long journey.

This feeling is accompanied with a weakness in the sacroiliac joints, something like the legs would stop supporting the body and give way any time.

Aesculus patients may suffer from several dissimilar symptoms that may be caused by liver disorder, insipidness of the head and mind, depression and even fullness at the base of the nose. They may suffer from fullness and tenderness in the region around the liver. In such conditions, touching the abdomen causes pain.

Such people may also suffer from jaundice with stools without bile. They experience an excruciating pain in the abdomen, particularly hypogastrium (the lower and middle part of the abdomen). They also experience an extreme action on the lower bowel as well as the organs in the pelvic region. Generally, such people have a sensation of prolapsed (as if an organ is falling off from its place) rectum after evacuating stool.

Generally, they also experience pains in the lumbar as well as sacral region associated with rigidity in the back, making it just about impossible to walk. In addition, such people also endure a tearing pain in the lower back or coccyx as well as the hips. At the same time, the face has a reddish appearance and the pulse is very rapid. These symptoms can be effectively treating using the homeopathic medicine aesculus.

Aesculus patients usually feel drowsy and appear to be asleep; however, the sleep is broken up at brief periods by awaking up abruptly and screaming. When such people wake up suddenly they seem to be very frightful as if they have had a nightmare or are in a state of misbelieve when they open their eyes after a short sleep.

In fact, when such people are questioned regarding the reason behind such dreadful feelings, they are unable to provide any satisfactory answer. In effect, the aesculus patients are pessimistic and touchy most of the time. Using this homeopathic medicine helps to get rid of these symptoms.

It may be noted that any attempt to walk actually worsens the symptoms of aesculus patients. In addition, cold seasons as well as cold air also bring in deterioration in their condition. The nose and throat of such patients are very susceptible to inhaling and the condition worsens when they have a wash. Turning to aesculus helps to heal as well as prevent these symptoms.
