Chestnut baths
The chestnut bath in Nehama Sanatorium is a hydrotherapy treatment with horse chestnut extract to gently support venous outflow and microcirculation. Suitable for feeling heavy in the legs and moderate swelling as prescribed by a doctor. The effect is related to the venotonic properties of chestnut seed extract. These properties have been studied in clinical trials in chronic venous insufficiency. The Cochrane review noted a reduction in pain and swelling compared with placebo.
