dressed chestnut
7 Days with Flickr - Wednesdays: Macro or close-up
"Weekly Theme Challenge" - FRUIT
Today I am more than usual descriptive, and it all thanks to Peter :) Pixelated Sky and his habit of interesting educational descriptions under his photos.
The chestnut fruit contains, among others. flavonoids, tannins, coumarins and carotenoids. However, their most valuable ingredient is escina, a mixture of saponins. These are compounds that seal the walls of blood vessels and restore their flexibility.
Chestnut extracts, used in the form of poultice, will accelerate the healing of post-traumatic changes: swelling, bruises, dislocations and crushes, mild burns and frostbite, they have anti-inflammatory and mild astringent effects.
In cosmetics chestnut fruits have been used for the production of masks, creams, tonics for the sensitive skin. In the kitchen of the chestnut fruit is prepared medicinal wines and tinctures.
