HORSETAIL DESCRIPTION:
|
Horsetail has a very high amount of silica
and is also rich in selenium. Silica is found in connective tissues throughout
the body and is very important in the building and normal repair of healthy
connective tissue.
This is a good herb to help the skin, hair and
nails, It is also used a lot for urinary problems.
It has been used for poultices, baths, teas,
gargles and mouth washes.
The best dietary source of silica is in whole
grains. When we eat denuded grains we are not getting the benefits of this
important item, along with a host of other nutrients.
Natures Sunshine Products also has HSN-W, a
combination herb that does not contain horsetail, but is also a good source of
silica, which may be better for some or one could combine both products.
