HORSETAILS

PLANT DESCRIPTION  Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a herbal plant which has many great uses. The name Equisetum is extracted from Latin word, equus which means "hourse" & seta means "bristle". It was used traditionally to stop bleeding, heal ulcers and wounds, and treat tuberculosis and kidney problems.  Horsetails reproduce by means of spores. The spores are contained in small cones at the tips of the stem or its branches, or sometimes on a separate stalk in the spring

BENEFITS OF THE HORSETAIL  Horsetails are one of the best herbs for bones and connective tissue weakness  It is an extremely good herb for urinary tract( kidney and bladder).  Use to strengthen any condition of the body, bladder, innards, uterus, veins, and skin.  A great herb for prostate inflammation and weakness

SIDE EFFECTS  Some of these recommended uses are for conditions that are potentially very serious and even life-threatening  Scientists say that it may change the activity in the kidneys, causing unusual control of water and potassium release. With low potassium, can have negative effects on the heart

WHERE IT COMES FROM  The common name comes from the characteristic pattern of branching: whorls or rings of branchless arising from an above- ground shoot. The shoot develops each season from an underground stem (rhizome).  Horsetails often grow in sandy places and incorporate silica in their stems. This gives them an abrasive quality which caused them to once be used for cleaning pots and pans, which gave rise to another common name: scouring rush.  Only one genus, Equisetum, containing about 25 species, survives today. However, many other, much larger, species were dominant features of the and, like the early lycopsids, contributed to the formation of coal.  Only one genus, Equisetum, containing about 25 species, survives today.
