Horsetail is often used to treat urinary tract infections, incontinence and bed-wetting. It is also a wonderful anti-inflammatory herb that can be used internally or externally to help reduce swellings and stop bleeding. The plant is so full of silica that it can be used as a brush to clean pots and pans or as a supplement for silica to promote healthy bowel movements.
