Horsetail Herb

Bulk Dried Herb • 60% filled Gallon Glass Apothecary Jar • 6–12+ Month Supply

The silica-rich structural builder for hair, skin, nails, and connective tissue.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is one of the most mineral-dense plants in the materia medica — especially prized for its naturally occurring silica complex. Used for centuries to strengthen bones, connective tissue, hair, and nails, horsetail supports the body’s structural matrix at the deepest level.
