Product Description
Vernacular Names & Parts Used
Horse Tail Powder, botanically identified as Equisetum Arvense, is commonly known as Horsetail, Field Horsetail, or Shavegrass in traditional herbal literature. The aerial parts (stems and shoots) of the plant are harvested at maturity, carefully dried, and finely powdered to retain their natural mineral content and fibrous structure.
Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses
According to classical Ayurvedic and traditional herbal texts, Horse Tail exhibits Kashaya (astringent) and Tikta (bitter) rasa, with Sheeta (cooling) virya, making it useful for balancing Pitta dosha. It is traditionally valued for its mineral richness, particularly silica, and referenced in formulations related to structural wellness, connective tissue support, and cleansing preparations, always under practitioner guidance.
Horse Tail Powder is commonly incorporated into Churna, Kwath, and compound herbal formulations, often blended with complementary herbs. Classical literature emphasizes proper sourcing, gentle processing, and measured usage to preserve its mineral integrity and traditional efficacy.
