 Horse chestnut seed extract (HCSE) is widely used in Europe for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a syndrome that may include leg swelling, varicose veins, leg pain, itching, and skin ulcers. Although traditionally recommended for a variety of medical conditions, CVI is the only condition for which there is strong supportive scientific evidence.
 Side effects from HCSE have been similar to placebo in clinical trials. However, due an increased risk of low blood sugars, caution is advised in children and people with diabetes.
 Horse chestnut flower, branch bark, and leaf have not been shown effective for any indication, and it is strongly advised that they be avoided due to known toxicity.
