Cut & Sifted Horsetail Herb 1lb

Horsetail is a wonderfully hydrating herb, thanks to its high amounts of organified silica, which help the body to retain moisture and intracellular hydration. 

Consider the way artificial silica inserts are kept inside bags of perishable food to retain moisture. Well, natural organic silica (such as is found in Horsetail, and in other hydration enhancers such as crystal energy drops) also helps your body to hang onto moisture in a similar way.  

Features:

• HORSETAIL HERB - Horsetail is a non-flowering plant that is commonly cultivated and harvested in several continents, including Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America.
