Horsetails cut testing report.pdf
Horsetail is also recommended for anemia and general debility. It has also been used to treat deep-seated lung damage such as tuberculosis or emphysema. As a diuretic it is particularly suited to metabolic or hormonal oedema during the menopause. The diuretic action is thought to be due partly to the flavonoids and saponins.
Equisetum is restorative to damaged pulmonary tissue after pulmonary tuberculosis and other lung disease, as the silicic acid is said to stabilize the scar tissue.
Because of its content of silica, this plant is recommended when it is necessary for the body to repair bony tissues. Silica helps to fix calcium, so that the body can store more quantity of this mineral and then use it to repair bones, collagen and other body tissues. Horsetail can therefore be useful for osteoporosis.
The whole herb contains saponin, mucorigenin, isoquercitrin, mucorigenin, silicic acid (5.19-7.77% of the dried herb), organic acid, fat, β-sitosterol, canthaxanthine, dimethyl sulfone, thymine, 3-methoxypyridine, and a variety of amino acids.
1. Clearing heat, cooling the blood, relieving cough and diuresis.
2. Treating vomiting of blood, epistaxis, blood in stool, menstrual regression, cough and asthma, gonorrhea.
Mostly used in pharmaceutical and clinical treatment.
