Herboplanet Licriven drops Food supplement based on plant extracts LICRIVEN is a food supplement based on plant extracts. The Centella and the Blueberry are useful for the functionality of the microcirculation and heaviness of the legs . Witch hazel and butcher's broom are useful for the functionality of the venous circulation ( functionality of the hemorrhoidal plexus ) . DIRECTIONS FOR USE : we recommend taking 25 drops in a little water 3 times a day. WARNINGS : Keep out of reach of children under three years. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product should be used as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

NOTES ON SOME PLANTS : CASTANEA VESCA is an exceptional lymphatic drainage of the lower limbs . Lymphatic stasis plays a primary role in venous insufficiency of the lower limbs. DOMESTIC SORBUS has its maximum tropism and is at the level of venous circulation in the lower limbs . The preparations based on IPPOCASTAN ( Aesculus hippocastanum ) have long been used as adjuvants in the therapeutic of vascular pathologies ( decrease in permeability and capillary fragility ). If we assume daily the horse chestnut there is a reduction in the activity of the enzymes responsible for the degradation of proteoglycans, thus ensuring the cohesion of the vascular wall . In those with varicose veins, the concentration of these enzymes, of lysosomal origin, increases considerably (Rombi M., 100 Plantes Medicinales , Ed. Romart, Nice, 1991, pp. 169). The CENTELLA ( Asian Hydrocotile ) is indicated for the functionality of the microcirculation and heaviness of the legs . The plant contains triterpenic derivatives ( asiaticoside ) with modulating properties on the development of connective tissue; regulates the growth of fibroblasts avoiding excessive proliferation with the consequent formation of keloids and hypertrophic scars . This means that soft, non-hypertrophic fabrics are obtained. AMAMELIDE ( Hamamelis virginiana ) is used for the functionality of the venous circulation, especially for the functionality of the hemorrhoidal plexus . The presence of flavonoids and triterpenic compounds contributes to the regulation of the muscular tone of the venous walls. With the technique of gaseous plethysmography it is observed that a compound containing Witch Hazel, Hippocastanum and Idraste causes the increase of venous tone in subjects with varicose veins [Rohyer R., Schmidt CL, Semaine des Hopitaux , Paris 57, 2009-2013 (1981) ]. PUNGITOPO ( Ruscus aculeatus ) contains an active ingredient called ruscogenine that has vasoconstrictive properties on microcirculation and is able to modulate the permeability and capillary resistance with an action similar to that of vitamin P (M. Pedretti, Chemistry and pharmacology of medicinal plants ) . The Rusco is used as an adjuvant in the treatment of hemorrhoids and varices. Weiss reports that Rusco is effective in anorectal syndromes, especially in hemorrhoids, where there is a decongestion of the inflamed hemorrhoidal nodules that deflate, thus giving the patient a sense of relief . Also Leclerc has reported the use of Rusco in hemorrhoids by reporting the experience of Caujolle and collaborators ( Toulouse medical , 1952) who have proved that there are considerable improvements, rapid and lasting and that in some cases have the value of a true healing . This, with the administration of 30-50 drops of a 10% hydroalcoholic solution, or with a 1/10 RE of Rusco roots . There are now numerous clinical observations that highlight the vasculoprotective and venotonic properties of Rusco , demonstrating the effectiveness of the plant complex in improving the symptomatology linked to venous insufficiency and to the hemorrhoidal crisis ( Bruneton , 1993).
