We have horsetail growing wild all along the edge of our yard. I decided to look it up and see if it is good for anything. Wow, I think it does everything but wash dishes. Oh wait, it does wash the dishes! It contains large amounts of silica and it used to be used to scour kitchen utensils, works well, if you find it while out camping , to scour your dishes.
Crushing the stems and applying this to a wound, stops bleeding. Horsetail tea has been used to treat mouth infections, digestive problems. Small amounts are said to help with headaches, arthritis, and stress.
Google this herb and you'll find many more uses.
