Monterey Club Horsetail Powder,1Lbs/454G

Horsetail, commonly referred to as Field Horsetail, belongs to one of the oldest surviving family of plants on the planet with a history dating to the Paleozoic era. This non-flowering plant, which is closely related to the fern, is the most abundant source of silica that exists, and is also rich in calcium and potassium.

Because of the nutritional properties of this herb, horsetail powder is encapsulated as a dietary supplement or used to make "tonics" for house and garden plants.

Powdered horsetail is also used in natural cosmetics, most notably in hair conditioners and shampoos

Horsetail, also known as shavegrass or Equisetum arvense, is a perennial herbaceous plant that has been renowned for centuries for its various uses and potential health benefits.

Horsetail is known for its high silica content, which is an essential mineral for healthy skin, hair, and nails. Silica is believed to promote collagen production, which helps maintain skin elasticity, promotes healthy hair growth, and strengthens nails. Horsetail is often used in natural skincare and hair care products to improve the health and appearance of the skin and hair. Silica is also known to play a role in bone formation and may help improve bone density and strength, making horsetail potentially beneficial for those with osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions.

Horsetail has diuretic properties, which means it can increase urine production and help flush out toxins from the body. It is commonly used to support kidney and urinary tract health and may help relieve symptoms of urinary tract infections, such as inflammation and discomfort. Its diuretic properties may alleviate fluid retention, bloating, and edema.

Horsetail has been used topically for its potential wound-healing properties. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that may help promote the healing of minor cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. It is believed to have astringent properties that can help strengthen gums, promote oral hygiene, and reduce the risk of gum diseases.

Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional before using horsetail for medicinal purposes, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications, as horsetail may interact with certain medications and have potential side effects.
