Sold as “Horsetail (Shavegrass Silica) Powder (1 oz, ZIN: 511336) - 3 Pack”

Looking like rushes or bamboo, the horsetail herb is also known as horse willow, toadpipe, and bottle brush. It's a perennial flowerless plant whose health properties are found in the hollow, jointed stems. - Potential Health Benefits - Horsetail flushes fluid from the body and is a mild diuretic. It's useful for the potential to help support symptoms of wounds, in combination with other therapies. It also has the power to help knock out inflammatory problems of the lower urinary tract and flush out kidney and bladder stones. - Scientific Evidence - The fresh or dried, green stems of horsetail, collected in summer, contain silicic acid and flavonoids. Its diuretic quality comes from the chemical ingredient equisetonin. German health authorities say that horsetail's silica and silicic acid doesn't test out as a useful product for bleeding tubercular lesions-contrary to some advocates of the herb. - How to Use the Herb - Internally - Traditionally used to help support blood pressure, bone health, cholesterol levels, menstruation problems, kidney and bladder health and much more. - Stir 1/4 of a teaspoon into a glass of water and consume 3 times daily, with meals. - TerraVita is an exclusive line of premium-quality, natural source products that use only the finest, purest and most potent ingredients found around the world.
