About: Horsetail is an abundant wild medicinal plant in wetlands and riparian areas in the mountains of Northern California, forming dense stands. We carefully wildharvest the young, new sterile stalks in spring and tincture them fresh. Horsetail is well known for its high silica content, its ability to support connective tissues and the integrity of blood vessels and elastic tissue in the lungs and bladder. It can be used to strengthen bones, hair and nails, and speed the healing of injuries, cartilage and broken bones. Horsetail is also a valuable kidney and bladder tonic. It can be used for cystitis in conjunction with other anti-microbial herbs. It is also indicated for bladder weakness to strengthen and tone the bladder. In addition, horsetail can reduce acidic conditions, making it a valuable remedy for arthritis, gout, eczema and psoriasis.
