Horsetail Grass 100 capsules
Dried stems contain silica
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is common in much of the temperate northern hemisphere. The name comes from the appearance of the mature plant that resembles a horse's tail. Horsetail grass, an ancient perennial flowerless plant, is valued for the high silica content of its dried stems. The high silica content makes it abrasive, and in the past it was used to polich metal and wood. Its common name, bottlebrush, indicates another of its uses.
Chemists have determined that horsetail contains flavonoids, alkaloids (including equisitine and tiny amounts of nicotine), saponins, tannins, fatty acids, and sterols (primarily beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and isofucosterol). Horsetail is also a rich source of various minerals, including potassium, selenium, and silica. Horsetail's wound-healing action may be due in part to silica absorption. Taken internally silica may benefit the health of bones, connective tissue, nails, and hair. Tiny amounts of gold that horsetail may absorb from water may have a beneficial effect on persons suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The compound equisetonin, a saponin, and certain flavonoids may account for the weak diuretic action.
