1、Diuretic Effects & Kidney Support
Horsetail is most well-known as a mild diuretic ("water-draining agent")—it increases urine output to reduce edema, and aids in addressing bladder and kidney issues like kidney stones and bladder infections. Rich in organic silicon, it acts as an excellent astringent for the urogenital system, reducing bleeding and healing wounds. Horsetail extract powder also helps with incontinence and childhood bedwetting, and is considered beneficial for prostate inflammation or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
2、Osteoporosis Prevention
Horsetail is extremely high in silicon, an essential element for calcium utilization in the body. Many people diagnosed with "calcium deficiency" do not actually lack calcium—instead, they lack silica in their diet, which prevents the body from properly absorbing and using calcium (leading to calcium buildup). Experts note that silicon is a necessary component for bone and cartilage formation, suggesting horsetail may effectively help prevent osteoporosis.
3、Arthritis & Arteriosclerosis Relief
Horsetail’s high silicon content may explain its use in managing arthritis and arteriosclerosis. Both joints and artery walls contain large amounts of silicon, and the silicon in horsetail supports the health of these tissues.
4、Brittle Nail Improvement
Anecdotal reports suggest horsetail may help treat brittle nails. This is likely due to its high content of silicic acid and silicates, which provide approximately 2–3% elemental silicon—an essential nutrient for nail health.
5、Wound Healing
Horsetail extract can be used internally or topically to reduce inflammation and speed up wound healing. It is highly effective for treating wounds and strengthening connective tissues; its astringent and hemostatic properties also aid in recovery. Note: It should not be taken alongside antihypertensive drugs.
Extracts derived from horsetail plants are generally regarded as safe for use. However, patients with edema caused by heart or kidney conditions should avoid taking horsetail extract powder.
When taking oral horsetail products, they should be consumed with an appropriate amount of liquid. The recommended daily dosage is typically 500–800mg of standardized horsetail extract (containing 7% organic silicon), which is equivalent to 2–3 grams of dried horsetail herb used for oral administration.
