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.

Stylish comfort you can wear all day!
Size: 6.5, Color: Chestnut
My wife has been been wearing the UGG Goldenstar Sandals for a few weeks now, and they’ve totally exceeded expectations. These sandals strike the perfect balance between comfort and style, and she’s gotten so many compliments on them! Pros: • Super Comfortable: The cushioned footbed feels like walking on clouds. Perfect for long days on your feet or casual outings. • Lightweight: Unlike some chunky sandals, these are surprisingly light but still feel supportive and well-made. • Adjustable Straps: The Velcro straps make it easy to get the perfect fit, and they’re great for swelling feet after a long day. • Versatile Style: They look great with everything—from jeans and shorts to casual dresses. • High-Quality Materials: Typical UGG quality—durable suede and solid construction. Cons: • Suede Requires Care: The upper is suede, so they’re not ideal for wet conditions and do need a bit of maintenance to keep looking fresh. • Pricey: They’re on the higher end cost-wise, but I’d say the comfort and quality justify the price. I’m really happy with these sandals. They’re a perfect mix of fashion and function, and I’d definitely buy them again in another color!

Best Sandal Ever
There is nothing about these that I don't LOVE. These are so comfortable and look so good. I have 6 pairs in every color. They r my absolute favorite. Run true to size. Listen to Amazon about sizing. They know... I am between size 7 and 7.5 and they recommended 7 and it was a perfect fit. I have not had any issues with the Velcro closure. Amazon has the best prices for UGGS.

Sandals that go with just about everything.
As a lover of everything Ugg, these didn't disappoint. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have, very lightweight, and go with just about everything. They remind me of the old school Dr. Martens and I had a massive collection of those in high school. I have worn them quite a bit and you can barely tell as they are holding up extremely well.
