HORSETAIL Equisetum arvense (POLIKOMPI) Equisteum Family
Common names: Peterwort, snakegrass

HISTORY OF USE
Horsetail is an ancient plant, with fossils found from prehistoric time. It has an herbal tradition of use in China, Russia, parts of Europe, and with North American Indians. It was widely used in Europe as a topical wound healing herb. It is one of the only living genus of the entire class Equisetopsida, There are no close relatives to this herb; the closest group of plants are ferns.
Horsetail  has a long and varied history of medicinal use. In the first century AD, Galen described it as cooling and drying to the body. Culpeper, in the 17th century, described it as a hardening medicine, meaning it reduced inflammation and excess moisture in the body.
Horsetail makes an effective natural diuretic. In modern medicine, a diuretic is usually supplemented by potassium to replace the potassium lost in urine. Horsetail, however, has its own built-in way of helping the body maintain potassium levels. In a normal diet the ratio of potassium to sodium is about 2:1, but in horsetail it is 150:1, which means any potassium lost by its diuretic action is replaced naturally.
In the last century horsetail was used to treat tuberculosis and is now used for conditions where tissue repair to damaged lungs is required. Horsetail is also used to curb excessive menstrual bleeding through its astringent and toning properties.
Russian research conducted in the early 1960s indicates that horsetail effectively removes toxic lead accumulation from the body, echoing the tradition of use as a blood cleanser.

CULINARY USE

Plant material should not be ingested as it is a rough herb and can be tough on the digestive system. Horsetail infusions, however, can be added to soups, stews, smoothies, and the like.

MEDICINAL USE
Silica must be present for the utilization of calcium, so horsetail is essential in mineral uptake considering the herb has an extremely high amount of silica. Good to use when there is an indication of low silica, as exhibited by split ends, hair loss, weak hair, splitting nails, cracked and rigid nails.
Urinary System: In combination with other herbs, horsetail is used in cystitis (bladder infection), and in interstitial cystitis (inflammation of the layer between bladder lining and muscle). Its effectiveness is thought to come from its alkalinizing effect on urine and from the fact that it makes the bladder wall less permeable to bacteria. Horsetail has long been used to alleviate both kidney and bladder stones, having a solvent effect on uric stones. It also helps to heal and tone the wall of the bladder, especially strengthening the bladder sphincter. This makes horsetail very valuable in conditions where frequent urination is due to a weak bladder sphincter. It is often combined to good effect with hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) for men with benign prostate enlargement. It would seem that an herb that increases the need to urinate would be aggravating, whereas in fact the tissue-healing, strengthening and toning actions of horsetail actually improve the condition.Offers healing for urinary tract infections and for bladder problems, and is generally thought of as a urinary tract herb. Also good for short term use for kidney stones. 
Blood cleanser: Removes toxins from blood. 
External use: Horsetail is known as a vulnerary, meaning it increases wound healing, and has been used as a poultice to staunch bleeding. Good as a hair rinse or hair oil.

CAUTIONS
Do not eat plant material, only use as tea herb and discard plant material, as they can be hard on the gastrointestinal tract. For use in kidney formulas, use in small doses and not long term over three weeks, as it will lend up irritating kidneys, though short term use is highly effective.

Great Everyday Hand Soap with a Fresh Clean Scent
Scent: Crisp Clean, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Crisp Clean, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Softsoap antibacterial refill is a great value and works perfectly for everyday use in both the kitchen and bathroom. The crisp clean scent smells fresh without being overpowering, and it leaves hands feeling clean and refreshed after every wash. I also appreciate that the formula doesn’t dry out my skin like some antibacterial soaps can. The added moisturizers help keep hands feeling soft, even with frequent washing throughout the day. The large refill bottle is very convenient and easy to pour without making a mess, which makes refilling smaller soap dispensers quick and simple. Overall, this is a reliable hand soap that combines effective cleaning, a pleasant scent, and good value in one large refill size.

Pleasant scent, great value in the 50oz refill size
Scent: Milk & Honey, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Softsoap Milk & Honey is one of our household favorites for a reason. The 50-ounce refill bottle offers excellent value compared to buying the smaller pump bottles repeatedly. The scent is warm, subtle, and pleasant — a light honey fragrance that doesn't overpower. The formula rinses cleanly without leaving a sticky residue, and our hands feel moisturized and soft afterward. We refill our countertop dispenser regularly from this large bottle. The pour spout design makes refilling easy without spills. Skin-wise, this formula seems gentle even for daily multiple-uses — no dryness or irritation noticed with regular use. It lathers well with just a small pump. At this size and price, it's one of the best value hand soap refills available. The Milk & Honey scent is more universally appealing than some strongly-scented alternatives, making it suitable for both kitchen and bathroom use.

Nice Scent, Anti-bacterial, and Foams Up Nicely
Scent: White Tea Berry, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is probably my favorite liquid hand soap. It has a really nice fruity smell, it foams up, at least a little, on your hands, and has a nice berry scent. Each one of these bottles will refill several soft soap dispensers, so it's a decent value.

Light, clean scent and leaves hands feeling soft
Scent: Milk & Honey, Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this hand soap at the sink and it’s been really pleasant for everyday use. The milk and honey scent is light and slightly sweet without being overpowering, which makes it nice for frequent handwashing. It lathers well and rinses off easily, and my hands don’t feel dried out afterward, which is something I’ve noticed with other soaps. It just leaves a clean, soft feeling without any residue. Simple product, but it does exactly what you want from a daily hand soap.
