This healing ointment combines homeopathy’s best venous expertise with quick topical relief to assure fast comfort and long term benefits for hemorrhoids, varicose veins and other skin irritations. The name Buckeye comes from its dominant ingredient made from the buds and blooms of the Horse Chestnut tree, Aesculus hip. Second to Aesculus is the vein expert Hamamelis made from the bark of a Witch Hazel shrub. For immediate topical relief, it contains Benzocaine in a petrolatum and mineral oil base.
