Horsetail (Equisetum arvense), the sole survivor of the Equisetaceae family, is a unique perennial plant that dates back over 300 million years to the Paleozoic era. Native throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, it is often called "Shavegrass" or "Pewterwort" due to the high silica content in its stems, which made it a traditional tool for polishing metal. It is one of the oldest known sources of plant-based minerals, particularly prized for its ability to strengthen the structural integrity of the body.

  • Natural Diuretic and Fluid Balance: Historically used as a gentle diuretic, it helps the body flush excess fluids and supports the healthy function of the kidneys and urinary tract.**

How To Use

Horsetail is a traditional herbal tonic prized for its high silica content, often used to support hair, skin, and nail health. It has a very mild, slightly grassy, and earthy flavor.

Brewing Method:

  1. Boil Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil (approximately 212°F / 100°C).
  2. Measure Herb: Use 1–2 teaspoons of dried horsetail per 8 oz cup of water.
  3. Steep: Pour the hot water over the herb. Cover and let steep for 10–15 minutes. For a stronger mineral extraction, you may gently simmer (decoct) the herb for 10 minutes instead.
  4. Strain & Enjoy: Strain the herbs and sip warm.
  • Optional Tip: Horsetail can also be used as a beneficial hair rinse or added to a warm bath for a mineral-rich soak.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed container.
  • Safety: Do not use for more than two weeks in a row without a one-week break, as it can be taxing on the kidneys. Consult a healthcare practitioner if you have kidney disease, are pregnant, or are nursing.
