equisetum arvense benefits:

Equisetum arvense, also known as horsetail, is an herbal remedy that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions: 
 
Bone health: Horsetail contains silicon, which may help strengthen bones and treat osteoporosis. 
 
Urinary tract health: Horsetail has been used to treat bladder and kidney conditions, and as a diuretic to reduce fluid retention. 
 
Wound healing: Horsetail has been used to treat wounds and burns. 
 
Anti-inflammatory: Horsetail may have anti-inflammatory properties. 
 
Antibacterial: Horsetail may have antibacterial properties. 
 
However, there is little scientific evidence to support many of the uses of horsetail, and there are some potential side effects: 
 
Vitamin B1 deficiency: Long-term use of horsetail may cause a vitamin B1 deficiency. 
 
Low blood sugar: Horsetail may lower blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar carefully. 
 
Low potassium levels: Horsetail may flush potassium out of the body, so people at risk of potassium deficiency should use it with caution. 
 
Thiamine deficiency: Horsetail may make thiamine deficiency worse. 
 
Chromium poisoning: Taking horsetail with chromium-containing supplements can increase the risk of chromium poisoning. 
 
Horsetail is generally well tolerated, but minor side effects may include diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and nausea.

Horsetail contains silicon, which helps strengthen bone. For that reason, some practitioners recommend horsetail as a treatment for osteoporosis. It is also used as a diuretic, and as an ingredient in some cosmetics. However, few studies have investigated horsetail's effect in humans.
