Horsetail Loose Tea - Certified Organic

Hand-Selected by Qualified Herbal Naturopath | 100% Certified Organic | Fast Australia-Wide Shipping

A living relic of ancient flora, Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a primitive, non-flowering perennial whose prehistoric ancestors carpeted Earth's forests over 300 million years ago. Recognized by its distinct jointed, reed-like stems that resemble a horse's tail, this remarkable botanical acts as a natural mineral sponge, drawing up mineral salts directly from deep within the earth. Celebrated in traditional European herbalism and Native American practices, Horsetail boasts the highest concentration of organic silica of any plant in the botanical kingdom, alongside rich deposits of calcium, potassium, manganese, and flavonoids. In modern clinical naturopathy, Horsetail is revered as a premier structural trophorestorative, supporting connective tissue elasticity, urinary tract tone, and the integrity of hair, skin, nails, and bones.

TASTE & ENERGETICS

• Taste: Mildly sweet, grassy, slightly salty, earthy, astringent
• Energetics: Cooling, strongly drying, tonifying, astringent

TRADITIONALLY USED FOR:

• Hair, Skin, Nail & Bone Vitality: Supplying bioavailable silica and minerals to strengthen brittle nails, thin hair, skin elasticity, and structural bone density.
• Connective Tissue & Joint Support: Supporting collagen synthesis and cartilage repair to maintain flexible joints and strong ligaments.
• Urinary Tract & Bladder Integrity: Toning relaxed urinary mucous membranes, easing mild fluid retention, and supporting comfortable bladder function.
• Tissue Repair & Structural Strength: Astringing and firming weak, bogged-down structural tissues throughout the body.

BREWING & PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Nutritive Decoction (Mineral Extraction Brew): Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Horsetail to 1.5 cups of cold water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and simmer gently low for 15–20 minutes (a longer simmer is required to fully liberate its dense mineral silica from the plant cell walls). Strain and sip warm 1–2 times daily.
• Topical Hair & Skin Rinse: Allow a strong decoction to cool and use as a strengthening hair rinse or facial toner.

Pack Sizes & Servings:

• 15g Bag: Approx. 5 to 7 cups (Perfect for sampling)
