From Herbal
Descriptions by Truman Berst:
#3178 Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) Horsetail is a storehouse of silica.
Silica is needed for the absorption of calcium in the body and it helps
to check fatty deposits in the arteries. Because of its high silica
content (which may reach up to 70% in soluble form), Horsetail was formerly
used for tuberculosis of the lungs as the silicic acid helps to stabilize
scar tissue. It is used as a tissue builder and may be employed in the
treatment of debility and anemic conditions. Horsetail is strengthening
to the hair, fingernails and broken bones. White spots in the nails
may indicate a calcium imbalance in the body; therefore, Horsetail may
help to correct this imbalance. Its astringency makes it effective in
stopping bleeding both internally and externally. Horsetail is also
useful for bedwetting in children. Other uses: inflamed/enlarged prostate,
cystitis, urinary stones, excessive menstrual flow and leucorrhea (may
also be used as a douche), to heal wounds, for kidney and bladder imbalance,
and water retention. CAUTION: High doses of Horsetail may lead to symptoms
of poisoning.
Use 6-12 drops
in juice, water, under the tongue, or as desired. May be taken 3 times
daily. Shake well. Store in cool, dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING: High doses
can be poisonous.
