HORSETAIL

Horsetail is a wonderful herb that is excellent for bones, teeth, hair and nails. It is a very rich source of Silica in a form that your body can actually absorb.
"Horsetail makes an excellent ally for those who want to build bone and strengthen their skeleton. Combined with other mineral-rich herbs such as Oatstraw, Comfrey, Nettles or Red Clover, Horsetail helps mend broken bones and prevents (even reverses) osteoporosis. Menopausal and post-menopausal women are wise to consume it regularly. Children make good use of Horsetail's bio-available minerals too. I add Horsetail to the infusions I serve my family all year long.
An excellent choice for those dealing with periodontal disease or receding gums, Horsetail also keeps teeth healthy. Horsetail also strengthens noils and improves overall health of the hair.
Horsetail contains very high amounts of calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium and Vitamin A. It also offers a balance of niacin, phosphorus, protein, riboflavin, selenium, sodium and Vitamin C. Horsetail's abundant stores make it a useful ally for building stamina, increasing energy and reducing fatigue.
It is an excellent tonic for the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. " Gail Faith Edwards from Opening our Wild Hearts to the Healing Herbs
