Equisetium arvense, or Horsetail, is one of my favorite herbs. Why? It’s high in silica and zinc and naturally strengthens the hair and nails.
How do you use Horsetail? Simple, just drink it as you would a tea. I put the loose herb in a stainless steel tea ball or bamboo strainer and steep it in hot water. The longer it steeps the more intense the flavor, which I personally find quite delicious!
Note: avoid large doses in early pregnancy
