Horsetail is an ancient non flowering plant that grows on wet sand and is therefore extremely high in silica. This herb is useful for silica-deficiency issues such as weak hair, split ends, fungus under the nails, and weak, ridged and cracked nails. Horsetail also has a powerful strengthening effect on the body's connective tissues and in the healing of broken bones, both of which require lots of silica. Horsetail is beneficial to the health of the urinary tract and is a nourishing diuretic. Its toning and astringent actions make it invaluable in the treatment of incontinence and bed wetting in children.

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L., herba)
Horsetail refers to the dried aerial parts of Equisetum arvense, a silica-rich perennial plant traditionally used across Europe. The herb contains notable amounts of silicates, along with flavonoids (such as quercetin and kaempferol glycosides), phenolic acids, saponins, and small quantities of alkaloids¹. These compounds have been studied for their roles in supporting connective-tissue structure, promoting healthy fluid balance, and contributing antioxidant activity. In traditional European herbal medicine, horsetail has been used to assist mild urinary discomfort, support natural diuresis, and promote recovery of minor wounds when applied topically².
The European Medicines Agency recognises Equisetum arvense herba as a traditional herbal medicinal product used for increasing urinary output and for the topical treatment of minor skin conditions¹.
