GlossaryEquisetum (Horsetail)

genus of plants known as horsetail, used for hair health

Equisetum, commonly known as horsetail, is a genus of vascular plants characterized by their hollow, jointed stems and lack of true leaves. These plants have been used traditionally in herbal medicine for their purported benefits in promoting hair growth and treating conditions like alopecia, due to their high silica content, which is believed to strengthen hair and nails.
