Water Tincture Diuretic (Equisetum arvense) 2oz Tincture

Ingrediants: Equisetum arvense, Menstrum

Diuretic: One of the most common and studied uses, horsetail acts as a "water pill"

to increase urine output, which helps flush the urinary tract. This makes it a traditional remedy for minor bladder and kidney ailments, such as infections and kidney stones. Clinical data suggests it has a diuretic effect comparable to some conventional medications without significant electrolyte loss.

• Bone and Connective Tissue Health: Due to its high concentration of silica
• (silicon), horsetail is used in traditional practice to strengthen bones, cartilage,
• and connective tissue. It is often suggested for conditions like osteoporosis, brittle nails, and hair loss, though more high-quality clinical research is needed to fully support these uses.
• Wound Healing: Applied topically as an ointment or wash, horsetail has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties that help stop bleeding and promote the healing of wounds, burns, and ulcers. One clinical trial found that a 3% horsetail ointment improved pain intensity and wound healing following an episiotomy in postpartum mothers.
• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: Compounds in horsetail may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help protect against cell damage and manage inflammatory disorders.
• Other Traditional Uses: Historically, it has also been used as a folk remedy for tuberculosis, gout, arthritis, and heavy menstrual periods, but clinical evidence for most of these conditions is lacking.
