Horsetail, also known as Equisetum spp., is an ancient, non-flowering plant that grows in wet, sandy areas and is wildcrafted in China and Bulgaria. Rich in silica, this herb is a natural remedy for strengthening bones, connective tissues, and speeding up the healing of broken bones. It also addresses silica-deficiency issues like weak hair, split ends, and brittle, cracked nails. Horsetail supports kidney health, helping with kidney infections, prostatitis, and urinary tract infections. Its toning and astringent properties make it effective for treating urinary incontinence and bedwetting in children. Horsetail acts as a nourishing diuretic, reducing oedema and promoting overall urinary health. Its key herbal actions include being astringent, diuretic, and vulnerary (wound-healing). To prepare, simmer 1-2 teaspoons of Horsetail in a cup of water for 10 minutes, covered. Packaged in a home-compostable, reusable zip-lock pouch, this product is eco-friendly and vegan-friendly. Whether you’re looking to strengthen bones and tissues, improve hair and nail health, or support kidney and urinary function, Horsetail is a trusted herb with a long history of traditional use. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
