From hair care and skin health, to bone support and osteoporosis, horsetail is sure to please...
Horsetail was traditionally used as a diuretic in spring tonics. Spring tonic herbal combinations provide a gentle cleanse of the body as it changes from the winter mode of storage and hibernation to the vital and energetic warm seasons. Horsetail also contains a significant amount of silica, which is considered an essential trace mineral for human health. It forms structural components of bone and connective tissue, such as collagen. It is especially needed during the early phase of bone mineralization and is found in high concentrations in the bony growth plates.
It also forms elastin, a connective tissue that is responsible for the elasticity of connective tissue found in the skin, lungs and blood vessels. Silica levels decline with age and a deficiency of silica may lead to degeneration of the vessels, bones and connective tissue that is commonly seen in the elderly. Horsetail is commonly recommended by natural health care practitioners for support of bone and connective tissue, osteoporosis, poor growth of hair, skin and nails and swelling.
Horsetail can be used as a dried herb, encapsulated herb, tincture or tea. The silica content of may be found on the product label. This is an assurance of the quality of the herb. Horsetail can be found as a component of formulas for vein health and urinary infections. Silica is also commonly used as a gel that is sourced from mineral deposits as opposed to horsetail. These supplements do not have the diuretic properties of horsetail products.
There are possible interactions between horsetail and heart medication, anti-seizure medications, diuretics and lithium because of horsetail's diuretic properties. Horsetail inhibits the absorption of vitamin B1 and supplementation is advisable if you use horsetail for long periods of time.
