Horsetail
Horsetail is commonly found throughout gardens, often regarded as an invasive species due to its aggressive growth. A distinctive feature of horsetail is its high silicon content, which contributes to the plant's cell wall rigidity and gives it a sandpaper-like texture—hence its other common name, 'scouring rush.' Traditionally, horsetail has been recognized in folklore medicine for its general supportive qualities in maintaining wellness. It has been historically used to support the body's natural processes of repair and maintenance. Practitioners of traditional medicine have also explored its uses in supporting hair and nail health.
