HORSETAIL Overview Information. Horsetail is a plant. The above ground parts are used to make medicine. Horsetail is used for âfluid retentionâ (edema), kidney and bladder stones, urinary tract infections, the inability to control urination (incontinence), and general disturbances of the kidney and bladder.
Horsetail Uses. I often use this herb, especially in external preparations due to its skin/hair supportive high silica content: An herbal hair rinse that supports strong hair and hair growth. I brew a strong herbal tea (1/2 cup horsetail to 1 cup water), steep for an hour, strain and use as a hair rinse in the shower.
