Nature's Answer Horsetail Herb,1oz

I am on my second bottle ordered third this mng. Def recommend for urinary tract problems def helps! It has a very earthy taste to it so don't mind it as much as some do on here. Love that that its alcohol free and easy to take. Will def continue with this brand!

I chose this one due to the lack of alcohol in it and am glad I did. I am using it currently every week in my shampoo. I put 4-5 drops in my hand with the shampoo and mix it before putting it in my hair. It seems to clarify my hair and remove any build up and adds shine. I am very pleased with it. I also have a recipe that included Horsetail Herb elixir as a hair treatment with the fractionated coconut oil I also purchased here on Amazon. Good product! This is in addition to my initial review and I am adding to it because I think it is important for those using Horsetail Herb for thinning hair to know. I had been using it as a topical but got a tip from a Sister of mine that she was having better results by adding it to her juice every day so I tried it and I have to agree with her. Approaching thinning hair from two fronts is a good tactic. I am adding it to my DE that I purchase from Amazon as well and a little apple juice. It really has no flavor so it doesn't affect the taste. Remember though when taking Horsetail Herb orally, you have to be 4 weeks on and 1 week off so your B1 levels don't drop. It tends to lower our vitamin B1 level so keeping that in mind, it is safe to use as a supplement.

Remember that horsetail contains very small quantities enzyme (thiaminase) which could degrade thiamine (vitamin B1) in the event of excessive consumption. Also, keep watch over your potassium levels. Be very careful with any herbs of supplements while pregnant or nursing... do not use this. Always research before taking any herbs or supplements that they don't cause more harm that good on your body & mind. For Internal use I put 28 drops in a 6 oz glass of water and drink. I do this 3x a day. When I am not taking it internally... I rub in the roots of my head to stimulate hair growth... I rub it on my nails and also use it in my face cream that I make myself. Remember it can be sticky... so only use a drop and blend it in with a light oil or cream. Also, It is proven that Horsetail will treat edema caused by shock and disorders of the urinary system. Externally I use to treat wounds that heal poorly. Remember that it can be sort of sticky on the hands once you rub it in... I wash it off my hands. I use horsetail to strengthen brittle nails and hair breakage. I am also using it to prevent osteoporosis along with calcium. It is used by some of my friends to heal fractures, alleviate pain and edema- rheumatic, enuresis (bedwetting), water retention and some menstrual disorders. Personally I use the horsetail to strengthen my nails and help my hair grow healthy... as well as to prevent bone loss. You can also use it to help in the healing of sprains or fractures as well. It’s the silica content of the plant that explains its therapeutic properties: this trace element plays an important role in the maintenance and renewal of connective tissue and facilitate the binding of calcium in the bones.

Ok

great product for a good price
