Medicinal notes
Aesculus hippocastanum has too many possible beneficial herbal uses to fully enumerate. A few of its uses include: as an astringent, as an anti-inflammatory, as a febrifuge and as an antirheumatic. See the medicinal properties section for the full list. The seeds as well as the leaves and the bark are used in herbal preparations. It is toxic when taken internally. Although this plant is freely wind-pollinated, it shouldn't pose too much difficulty to the hay fever susceptible. May to June is the usual season for causing hay-fever problems.
