Phyto HSS acts on the lymphatic and venous systems and improves circulation. Proper functioning of the lymphatic vessels is important for the immune system. Collecting lymphatic vessels gather to form lymph nodes, which are important for immunosurveillance and the elimination of toxins as part of the body's humoral defense system.
This combination is beneficial for lymphatic stagnations such as cellulite, edema, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, pelvic congestion and lower limb edema.
Phyto HSS has traditionally been used to support venous stagnation, varicose veins or the early transition phase of menopause.
The lymphatics can be difficult to treat because they are considered the most primitive circulatory system. Therapeutic results are best when used long-term. An example protocol is a six-month treatment with seven drops twice daily, three weeks out of four.
Spanish chestnut is the main remedy in the complex. Its toning action is useful for targeting circulation (its main action), with particular benefits for the veins and veins of the pelvis and lymphatic circulation.
Horse chestnut is involved in passive nerve circulation; it is often used for hemorrhoids and the first signs of varicose veins.
Research has supported these traditional claims by citing the plant's beneficial anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties. Other studies have implicated two compounds in the plant for its action on venous congestion: escin, a triterpenoid saponin.
