Organic Horsetail - 190 mg - 200 vegetarian capsules

○ Latin name: Equisetum arvense ○ Dosage: 190 mg per capsule Horsetail, also known as Equisetum arvense, is a perennial plant that belongs to the Equisetaceae family. It is usually found in damp places, river sides, swamps and lakes, and is common in temperate regions around the world. It is a plant that can reach up to one meter in height. It is distinguished by its hollow, ridged and ringed stems, which bear scale-like leaves. Horsetail is a very old plant, appearing more than 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period, and it is considered a relic of the age of the dinosaurs. ֍ Horsetail was used by the ancient Romans to polish metal objects. They rubbed the stems of the plant on objects to remove rust and dirt, then wiped them with a soft cloth. This use is still relevant in some cultures, where horsetail is still used as a natural abrasive to clean stainless steel pots and pans.
