Key Benefits

 

Bone Health

Horsetail may support bone health and healing due to its high silica content. It appears to inhibit osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and stimulate osteoblasts (cells that build new bone), which could help with conditions like osteoporosis.

Diuretic Effects

One of horsetail's most well-known properties is its natural diuretic effect. It can increase urine output, potentially helping with fluid retention and urinary tract issues.

Hair, Skin and Nail Health

The silica in horsetail may improve the appearance and strength of hair, nails and skin. It can reduce nail fragility, increase hair growth and strength, and improve skin quality by fighting free radicals that cause premature aging.

Wound Healing

Topical application of horsetail ointment has shown promise in promoting wound healing, reducing redness, swelling and discharge. This may be attributed to its silica content and anti-inflammatory properties.

Other Potential Benefits:

Anti-inflammatory effects: Horsetail may help reduce inflammation in the body.

Antimicrobial activity: It has shown potential against certain bacteria and fungi.

Antioxidant properties: Horsetail is rich in antioxidants that can protect cells from damage.

Weight loss support: Its diuretic and metabolic effects may aid in weight management.

Blood pressure reduction: The diuretic effect may help lower blood pressure.

Preparation Instructions:

Ingredients:

- 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail stems (or 1 tablespoon for a stronger tea)
- 1 cup of boiling water

Directions:

  1. Bring a cup of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Measure out 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use the higher amount.
  3. Place the dried horsetail in a tea infuser or directly into your cup. Pour the boiling water over the horsetail.
  4. Cover the cup with a lid or small plate to retain steam and let it steep for about 5 to 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor and herbal properties will be.
  5. If you used loose horsetail, strain it out using a fine mesh sieve. If you used an infuser, simply remove it.
  6. Your horsetail tea is ready! You can drink it plain or add sweeteners like agave, maple syrup and/or lime for extra flavor.

NOTE:
- For best results, do not consume horsetail tea for more than one week continuously to avoid potential side effects such as dehydration or mineral loss.

Net Wt. 2 Oz

**Disclaimer: It's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand horsetail's effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using horsetail or any herbal supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

It's important to note that horsetail tea should be avoided by pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with alcoholism, diabetes, or low potassium levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding horsetail tea to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

Common Side Effects

Gastrointestinal Issues
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea

Increased Urination
Due to its diuretic effects, horsetail tea may cause more frequent urination.

Serious Side Effects

Electrolyte Imbalances
Long-term or excessive use can lead to loss of important minerals in the body, potentially causing:
- Dehydration
- Muscular weakness
- Changes in cardiac conductivity

Thiamine Deficiency
Horsetail contains thiaminase, an enzyme that breaks down thiamine (vitamin B1). Prolonged use may lead to vitamin B1 deficiency, especially in those with already low levels.

Kidney Issues
In rare cases, it may cause kidney damage. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Kidney pain
- Lower back pain
- Pain while urinating

Blood Sugar Changes
Horsetail may lower blood sugar levels, which could be problematic for people with diabetes.

While rare, some severe reactions have been reported:

Pancreatitis
There has been at least one case report of acute pancreatitis linked to habitual consumption of horsetail tea.

Strong Headaches
Some individuals may experience severe headaches after consuming horsetail tea.

Heart Palpitations
Taking too much horsetail can result in heart palpitations in some cases.

Warm, soft, cozy… not very fluffy though
Color: Tide Pool Blue, Size: Full/Queen
I LOVE this comforter!! The color is beautiful, it’s super soft, it’s nice and warm, and it has a nice weight to it. I will say it isn’t as fluffy as it seems in the pictures, there doesn’t seem to be any filling between the 2 layers, and if there is, it’s minimal. It’s more like the thickness of a similar double sided throw blanket. It also has the tendency to grab any small debris which clings to it, but this is to be expected with this type of fabric. I would not recommend this comforter for pet owners as it will definitely be covered in hair and whatever else your furbabies may track in! Despite the lack of fluffiness and it constantly holding on to any loose thread or other random debris, I am still very happy with my purchase. Very good comforter for the price and it looks beautiful on the bed!!

I originally got the King set & loved it so much I ordered another in Queen size!
Color: Charcoal, Size: King
I didn't add a picture because the advertised picture is exactly what it looks like (and my beds not made at the moment, lol). It's so soft, comfortable, cosey and warm. It's thicker and fluffier than I expected, but still very lightweight. The price was great for a king size bed with 2 king sized pillow cases! I love it so much I ordered a second set in Queen size, just to have the cases for my smaller queen pillows that go in front of the King pillows and to have the extra blanket as a cozy throw. The only drawback is it does snag easily on rings, fingernails, etc. (also another reason I ordered the second one to lay across the places that I've snagged & a few that were already snagged when I got them). However, it's so cozy that I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back and having to wait for a new one! I'm very glad that it was suggested as an add on when I ordered the mattress pad & that I chose to add it on. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!

Love it!
Color: Red Buffalo Plaid, Size: Full/Queen
Instantly became my favorite comforter for winter months. Colors are vibrant and beautiful; soft and warm; appears to be durable. I would get another of it came in others colors. Paired with the Amazon Basics red buffalo plaid sheet set. Matches my pajamas and my dogs’ bandannas perfectly!
