Horsetail grass extract(Equisetum arvense) is a home grown cure that traces all the way back to old Roman and Greek times. It was traditionally used to treat tuberculosis, heal wounds and ulcers, and stop bleeding. The Latin words equus, which means "horse," and seta, which means "bristle," give rise to the name Equisetum.
Silicon in horsetail grass stem extract aids in bone strengthening. As a result, some doctors suggest horsetail for osteoporosis treatment. Additionally, it is used as a diuretic and in some cosmetics. However, human effects of horsetail have only been the subject of a few studies.

Bone Health/Arthritis
Horsetail's use as a bone-strengthening herb is supported by the fact that it is rich in numerous minerals in addition to its silica content. Building and maintaining healthy connective tissues, cartilage, muscle, skin, tendons, sheathing, and bone all require silica. As a natural source of silica, horsetail grass extract helps alleviate a wide range of structural diseases by increasing the body's absorption of bone-building minerals like calcium.
Health of the Kidney and Bladder
Horsetail grass stem extract has long been used as a diuretic (a substance that makes the body produce more urine). In a new report contrasting Horsetail with its drug partner, it was observed that the spice was basically as powerful as the medication, however without causing extreme electrolyte misfortune - a typical issue with drug diuretics. Horsetail's natural diuretic effect stimulates the body's need for water and regulates urinary output, assisting the kidneys in cleansing the blood. Horsetail has also been approved as a diuretic by the German Commission E for the treatment of swelling and fluid retention.
Wound Healing
Horsetail herb extract's ability to accelerate wound healing is due to its high silica content. These silicates and silicic corrosive advance the movement of leukocytes and neutrophils (kinds of white platelets that fend off disease), to the site of the injury and start the incendiary period of the recuperating system. This herb's astringent properties also make it a great clotting agent that can help stop nosebleeds as well as keep wounds from bleeding.
Hair & Skin Health
Last but not least, horsetail grass extract has been used for centuries to beautify the skin and hair all over the world. It is believed that silicon plays a crucial role in the optimal synthesis of collagen, a building block that is necessary for skin's strength and elasticity.
The "Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology" conducted research in 2012 discovered that silica derived from horsetail significantly increased hair growth after 90 and 180 days. Additional studies demonstrate that hair strands with a higher silica content typically have a lower rate of breakage and a shinier appearance.
