Sebastian Kneipp made this versatile plant widely known from a health point of view. The well-known naturalist used them regularly as part of his treatments for detoxification, drainage and general strengthening of the body.

Field horsetail is also known as horsetail - this name comes from its earlier use for polishing tin, made possible by the silica structures it contains. It is precisely this that makes itself felt when chewing the fresh plant. As a layman, however, you should be extremely careful about consuming the fresh parts of the plant, as there is a risk of confusion with the poisonous marsh horsetail. The horsetail is extremely frugal and in the wild it prefers to grow on fields, in ditches and embankments as well as on damp meadow edges.

A marvel of nature in motion

The field horsetail is considered to be a versatile miracle of nature, which was already praised by Paracelsus and found a wide variety of uses. As inconspicuous as the plant may look at first, its ingredients seem to convince. The high content of silicic acid and water-soluble silicates is particularly noteworthy. Silicea - also known as silicic acid - is known for its beneficial and digestible effect on our musculoskeletal system. Silica is particularly popular with athletes because it is said to have a joint-gentle and protective quality.

Silica is rich in minerals and trace elements that are valuable for the connective tissue, the bones and the health of the joints. These are thus optimally supplied with nutrients. To use horsetail in herbal medicine, the spore shoots of the plant are harvested, dried and then processed. The high-quality ingredients in the horsetail extract or as a tea or in forms of external application can be administered and their beneficial properties can be used.
