Wholesale Organic Horsetail / Shavegrass

Horsetail is a non-flowering, semi-aquatic perennial plant that is closely related to the fern that naturally occurs in certain regions of North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. It is an herb of antiquity, descended from ancient trees dating to the Paleozoic era. Horsetail also has a long history of use, starting with the ancient Romans and Greeks. Because equisetum arvense herb has a high silica content, the young stems are prepared as a vegetable or juiced, much like nettle. The dried leaf is also added to foods or is taken in capsule form as a dietary supplement.
