How to distinguish good chestnuts from bad ones
The chestnut is actually recognized for its healing properties, which are used not only in the kitchen but also in cosmetics and herbal medicine , thanks to components such as escin, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and tannins. In the form of extracts , drops, creams, or ointments, they can provide relief for swollen legs, fragile capillaries, hemorrhoids, and water retention . There is no scientific evidence of beneficial effects against colds, especially if the chestnut is kept on the body.
