Function
Diuresis and Kidney Health: Horsetail is renowned for its gentle diuretic properties, which help increase urination and reduce edema. It is commonly used to treat various bladder and kidney issues, including kidney stones and bladder infections. Thanks to its high silicon content, horsetail is also a potent astringent for the urinary system, helping to reduce bleeding and promote wound healing.
Osteoporosis Support: Horsetail is exceptionally rich in silicon, an essential element crucial for proper calcium utilization in the body. Many individuals diagnosed with calcium deficiency may actually suffer from a lack of dietary silicon, impairing their ability to effectively use calcium and leading to calcium precipitation instead.
Arthritis and Arteriosclerosis: The high silicon content in horsetail might explain its effectiveness in treating arthritis and arteriosclerosis. Both joint and arterial tissues contain significant amounts of silicon, suggesting that horsetail could support the health and repair of these structures.
Brittle Nail Remedy: Anecdotal evidence suggests that horsetail can be beneficial in treating brittle and cracked nails. This benefit likely stems from its high silicate content, providing 2 to 3% of the body's daily silicon requirement, which is essential for healthy nail growth.
Application
Health and Pharmaceutical Applications: Horsetail is widely utilized in both health supplements and pharmaceuticals.
Diuretic and Hemostatic Properties: It exhibits significant diuretic activity, promoting increased urination, and also has hemostatic effects, aiding in the stopping of bleeding.
Treatment of Diabetes and Chronic Bronchitis: Horsetail is effective in managing diabetes and chronic bronchitis, offering potential therapeutic benefits for these conditions.
Feed Additive: Horsetail herb powder is also employed as a beneficial additive in animal feed.
