Horsetail, Aerial, 1oz (28g)

Plant Name: Horsetail, Shavegrass

Latin Name: Equisetum arvense

Actions: Diuretic, Astringent, Connective tissue tonic, Hemostatic, Anti-inflammatory, Vulnerary, Silica-rich remineralizer. Known to strengthen and tone urinary tract tissue, support skin, hair, and nail health, and aid in bone and connective tissue repair, making it helpful for post-fracture recovery. It also supports the cardiovascular and reproductive systems.*

Caution: Ensure thorough decoction or preparation to extract beneficial constituents and minimize potential irritation, as the raw plant contains thiaminase, an enzyme that breaks down vitamin B1; cooking or drying reduces this risk. It may affect medication excretion due to its diuretic effect. Use only sterile stems from the non-reproductive stage, and be cautious with Equisetum species, as they are easily confused; thus, correct identification is essential to avoid toxic varieties.*
