suMMARy Oedema and lymphedema are pathological conditions correlated with obstructions of functional alterations of lymphatic vessels or veins. Several natural products were shown to be useful in the management of such disorders, positively acting on vasal tone, hemoconcentration, vasal permeability, oedema, fibrinolisis, leukocyte formula, pain and infections. Laboratory and clinical studies sustaining the efficacy of such products are available for several herbal derivatives such as Centella…

[Controlled study of increasing venous tone in primary varicose veins by oral administration of Ruscus aculeatus and trimethylhespiridinchalcone].
TLDR
The course of the study suggests that the period of treatment possibly was too short to obtain the full pharmacologic effect, and all parameters showed a tendency towards improvement in the verum group.
Essaven gel--review of experimental and clinical data.
TLDR
Essaven gel offers important therapeutic benefits to several types of patients and the product should be available for its usefulness and safety.
Use of extract of Ruscus aculeatus in venous disease in the lower limbs.
TLDR
An overall tendency for improvement occurred that was more distinct during the periods of treatment with the drug, and symptoms and plethysmographic parameters immediately changed significantly in correspondence with the administration of RAES.
Efficacy of Topical Treatment with Aescin + Essential Phospholipids Gel in Venous Insufficiency and Hypertension
TLDR
Considering skin PO2 and PCO2 variations, local treatment with AEPL in areas of venous microangiopathy is very effective in improving skin perfusion and nutrition and, possibly, in preventing venous ulcerations.
[Lymphedema of the upper extremity in patients operated for carcinoma of the breast: clinical experience with coumarinic extract from Melilotus officinalis].
TLDR
Cumarinic extract of Melilotus officinalis (CEMO) was effective in reducing lymphedema in 79% of the pts treated for a period of six months, and the median reduction of the upper arm circumference was modest but statistically significant.
Treatment of lymphedema of the arms and legs with 5,6-benzo-[alpha]-pyrone.
TLDR
5,6-Benzo-[alpha]-pyrone results in slow but safe reduction of lymphedema of the extremities; limb mobility also improved; and side effects disappeared after the first month of therapy.
[Effects of horse-chestnut seed extract on transcapillary filtration in chronic venous insufficiency].
TLDR
It is concluded that Venostasin has an inhibitory effect on oedema formation via a decrease in transcapillary filtration and thus improves oedEMA-related symptoms in venous diseases of the legs.
Clinical and capillaroscopic evaluation in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency with Ruscus aculeatus, hesperidin methylchalcone and ascorbic acid in venous insufficiency treatment of ambulatory patients.
TLDR
It is the first time morphologic changes were observed in chronic venous insufficiency through capillaroscopy following a pharmacological intervention.
[Improving venous tone and capillary sealing. Effect of a combination of Ruscus extract and hesperidine methyl chalcone in healthy probands in heat stress].
TLDR
After administration of the combination of Ruscus-extract and hesperidine methyl chalcone, the blood volume was between the Ruscus and HMC volumes, while the effects on filtration rate, venous capacity and tissue volume corresponded to the changes seen after administration of HMC and Ruscus extract alone.
Clinical and capillaroscopic evaluation in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency with Ruscus aculeatus, hesperidin methylchalcone and ascorbic acid in venous insufficiency treatment of ambulatory patients.
TLDR
For the first time morphologic changes were observed in chronic venous insufficiency through capillaroscopy following a pharmacological intervention, andCapillary-level effect was proportional to symptom decrease.
