Aesculus hippocastanum, leaves, cut, from conventional cultivation
Horse chestnut leaves come from the horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) and are palmate in shape with 5 to 7 elongated, toothed individual leaves. They are fresh green in spring, turn yellow to brown in autumn and reach a length of up to 30 cm. Their striking shape makes them characteristic of the tree species and they play a role in naturopathy, particularly in the treatment of venous disorders.
