Chestnut leaves

A review of the published literature for AP -humic interactions reflects variations in fluorescence behavior (8-12,14,15). Sposito and co-workers (11,12) concluded that there was a quenching effect for aluminum ion complexed with a chestnut leaf litter extract (LLE). Philpot et al. (14) also reported fluorescence quenching of humic acid (Aldrich) upon complexation with aluminum. However, unlike these studies, Plankey and Patterson (8-10) found that the fluorescence intensity... 

No irritant effects of an ethanol-water extract of Spanish chestnut leaf were observed in patch testing in healthy volunteers (Almeida et al. 2008).

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from leaf buds and cracks in the bark of various plants, mainly from poplar (Populus) species and, to a lesser extent, beech, horse chestnut, birch, and conifer. Bees mix the original propolis with beeswax and (5-glucosidase they secrete during the propolis collection. The resulting material is used by bees to seal holes in the hives, exclude drafts, protect against external invaders, and mummify their carcasses. Propolis has been used extensively in folk medicine for many years, and there is substantial evidence indicating that propolis has antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties [42].
