Healing Herb: Horsetail
Jul 26, 2018
One of the healing herbs in Kevin's Care lotion is Horsetail Herb. Kevin's Care lotion is effective for dry, stressed skin conditions like eczema.
Health Benefits:
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is the last remaining descendant of the giant ferns that covered the earth over 400 million years ago. A typical horsetail plant can contain up to 15 % vegetal silica. This bio-available silica, when applied topically, can greatly aid in the healing of wounds and burns, and has a softening and smoothing effect on the skin. Horsetail contains flavonoids and saponins which help rebuild and regenerate skin cells.
Natural Solutions from Native Roots:
Native Americans used a solution made by boiling horsetail stems to wash skin sores. They also treated poison ivy by washing the affected areas with a mixture of pounded horsetail and water.
Inspired by Herbal Wisdom:
