has anyone used this? I was doing some research and it says that if you use this you need to periodically get your liver tested.....making me think I wonder if it's safe and if I want to use it.

My daughter used this for poor circulation and the beginnings of varicoise veins. It is commonly suggested for this. I have never heard it causing any problems.

She finally had to have a vein removed. She stopped the horsechestnut for awhile but plans to start again because she continues to have the problem of cold extremities. I think there is something else that you can take with it to increase the effect but cannot now remember what it is, but I think it is black walnut. I'll ask her and let you know or you could do some research.

Best,
