It is used for relaxation of the abdominal organs, to aid kidneys and bladder; help in skin complaints such as eczema and acne. Is used externally and internally; to stop bleeding. In very stubborn leg ulcers it is recommended to make a mixture of equal parts of horsetail and calendula and bathe the affected parts for 30 minutes in concentrate using the same amount of tea in 3 litres as is recommended for a full bath. Horsetail is used for osteoporosis and for athletes who suffer from sprains, dislocated joints, pulled hamstrings, or torn ligaments.
