Description
Horsetail is used for kidney and bladder stones, urinary tract infections, wounds and burns.
In folk medicine, Horsetail has also been used for tuberculosis, profuse menstrual bleeding, brittle finger nails, hair loss, water retention, rheumatic diseases, gout, swelling, fractures, frostbite, and nasal, pulmonary, and gastric bleeding. It effectiveness for these problems has not, however, been confirmed.
Horsetail gains its name from the bristly appearance of its jointed stems. Its ability to draw excess water from the body makes it useful for flushing bacterial infections and kidney stones from the urinary tract.
The plant is found throughout most of the northern hemisphere. Only stems collected during summer are medicinal.
Horsetail is also known as Bottle-brush, Horse Willow, Paddock-pipes, Pewterwort, Scouring Rush, Shave Grass and Toadpipe.
