Key Benefits

 

Bone Health

Horsetail may support bone health and healing due to its high silica content. It appears to inhibit osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and stimulate osteoblasts (cells that build new bone), which could help with conditions like osteoporosis.

Diuretic Effects

One of horsetail's most well-known properties is its natural diuretic effect. It can increase urine output, potentially helping with fluid retention and urinary tract issues.

Hair, Skin and Nail Health

The silica in horsetail may improve the appearance and strength of hair, nails and skin. It can reduce nail fragility, increase hair growth and strength, and improve skin quality by fighting free radicals that cause premature aging.

Wound Healing

Topical application of horsetail ointment has shown promise in promoting wound healing, reducing redness, swelling and discharge. This may be attributed to its silica content and anti-inflammatory properties.

Other Potential Benefits:

Anti-inflammatory effects: Horsetail may help reduce inflammation in the body.

Antimicrobial activity: It has shown potential against certain bacteria and fungi.

Antioxidant properties: Horsetail is rich in antioxidants that can protect cells from damage.

Weight loss support: Its diuretic and metabolic effects may aid in weight management.

Blood pressure reduction: The diuretic effect may help lower blood pressure.

Preparation Instructions:

Ingredients:

- 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail stems (or 1 tablespoon for a stronger tea)
- 1 cup of boiling water

Directions:

  1. Bring a cup of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Measure out 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use the higher amount.
  3. Place the dried horsetail in a tea infuser or directly into your cup. Pour the boiling water over the horsetail.
  4. Cover the cup with a lid or small plate to retain steam and let it steep for about 5 to 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor and herbal properties will be.
  5. If you used loose horsetail, strain it out using a fine mesh sieve. If you used an infuser, simply remove it.
  6. Your horsetail tea is ready! You can drink it plain or add sweeteners like agave, maple syrup and/or lime for extra flavor.

NOTE:
- For best results, do not consume horsetail tea for more than one week continuously to avoid potential side effects such as dehydration or mineral loss.

Net Wt. 2 Oz

**Disclaimer: It's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand horsetail's effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using horsetail or any herbal supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

It's important to note that horsetail tea should be avoided by pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with alcoholism, diabetes, or low potassium levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding horsetail tea to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

Common Side Effects

Gastrointestinal Issues
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea

Increased Urination
Due to its diuretic effects, horsetail tea may cause more frequent urination.

Serious Side Effects

Electrolyte Imbalances
Long-term or excessive use can lead to loss of important minerals in the body, potentially causing:
- Dehydration
- Muscular weakness
- Changes in cardiac conductivity

Thiamine Deficiency
Horsetail contains thiaminase, an enzyme that breaks down thiamine (vitamin B1). Prolonged use may lead to vitamin B1 deficiency, especially in those with already low levels.

Kidney Issues
In rare cases, it may cause kidney damage. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Kidney pain
- Lower back pain
- Pain while urinating

Blood Sugar Changes
Horsetail may lower blood sugar levels, which could be problematic for people with diabetes.

Severe Reactions

While rare, some severe reactions have been reported:

Pancreatitis
There has been at least one case report of acute pancreatitis linked to habitual consumption of horsetail tea.

Strong Headaches
Some individuals may experience severe headaches after consuming horsetail tea.

Heart Palpitations
Taking too much horsetail can result in heart palpitations in some cases.

Great Clean Alternative to Traditional Mouthwash, LOVE this!!
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been really impressed with these Boka mouthwash tablets. They’re fluoride‑free and alcohol‑free, which is exactly what I was looking for, and the hydroxyapatite is a nice bonus for supporting enamel without the harshness of traditional mouthwashes. The tablets dissolve easily, the flavor is refreshing without being overpowering, and there’s no burning sensation at all. Do NOT chew and swallow like I did the first time. Chew, get salva going and swish. My teeth never felt so clean!!! I also love that they’re travel‑friendly and cut down on plastic waste compared to big bottles. My breath feels fresh, and my mouth feels clean without that chemical aftertaste. If you’re trying to switch to a cleaner, gentler oral‑care routine, these are a great option.

Tasty, effective, and helpful against thrush
Flavor Name: Citrus Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a good plastic-free, portable form of mouthwash. Pop one or two tablets in your mouth, chew well, add a little water if your mouth is particularly dry (mine is), swish, and spit. That's it. They don't burn like regular mouthwash, and they leave a nice flavor that isn't overpowering and that lasts longer than other mouthwashes have for me. It's a balanced flavor, if that means anything to you - basically, my mouth somehow feels right afterwards. I was skeptical about the claim that these improve the mouth microbiome, but they've virtually eliminated the thick white layer (presumably thrush) that I've been fighting to clear off my tongue forever. So, yeah, these are definitely a winner.

More like a mint candy than mouthwash.
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Hard to describe this product. Does it work like your typical mouthwash? No. Does it leave your mouth feeling minty and fresh? Yes, to a certain extent. Would I consider this an alternative to mouthwash on a consistent basis? No, it's ok for traveling because it's easy to transport. When you chew this tablet, it has the texture and feel of a traditional mint. It's chalky and breaks up easily.

Not a fan of this one
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am not a fan of this product. As many of the reviews noted, the flavor is very strong. I was surprised it wasn't more minty. This is a very herbal concoction. It also tastes of the other very strong herbs, especially the rosemary. According to the instructions, this product should be used once a day for 30 seconds. I prefer a product I can use twice a day for 45 seconds to a minute. My experience is that it takes 30 seconds just to crush it up enough to swish it around and I don't have enough saliva in the morning due to overnight dry mouth. I have to add a little water. The tablets never crush completely and leave a mess in the sink that has to be carefully rinsed away. If I use them more often, my mouth dries out too much and tastes like the tablets all day long. It's not a bad taste but I expect it to go away after a half-hour (or so). They are really chalky. The container isn't bad, but doesn't pour 1 tablet out at a time. Meh. I don't like touching a bunch of them each time. There is a desiccant packet in with the tablets to protect them. I am not sure this would stay closed during travel or be allowed on a plane in carry-on. It should travel ok otherwise because it's not a liquid, but I haven't tried it. I will probably not buy this product again, but in all honesty, I have bought far worse products and been disappointed far more by them.
