Special Benefits

INDIVIDUAL HERBS...

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense)... The stem of the Horsetail herb contains 5 to 8% silicic acid, of which a proportion is in the organic form and can be absorbed.

Because of its silica content which is involved in bone and connective tissue repair, and has a diuretic effect, Horsetail has proved helpful in treating rheumatism.

Horsetail facilitates the absorption of Calcium by the body an effect that nourishes nails, skin, hair, bones and the body’s connective tissue. The silica content also has a positive effect on lipid metabolism and helping to manage excessive oily skin and hair and is believed to make individual hair strands stronger, thicker and more resilient.¹
