Key Benefits

 

Bone Health

Horsetail may support bone health and healing due to its high silica content. It appears to inhibit osteoclasts (cells that break down bone) and stimulate osteoblasts (cells that build new bone), which could help with conditions like osteoporosis.

Diuretic Effects

One of horsetail's most well-known properties is its natural diuretic effect. It can increase urine output, potentially helping with fluid retention and urinary tract issues.

Hair, Skin and Nail Health

The silica in horsetail may improve the appearance and strength of hair, nails and skin. It can reduce nail fragility, increase hair growth and strength, and improve skin quality by fighting free radicals that cause premature aging.

Wound Healing

Topical application of horsetail ointment has shown promise in promoting wound healing, reducing redness, swelling and discharge. This may be attributed to its silica content and anti-inflammatory properties.

Other Potential Benefits:

Anti-inflammatory effects: Horsetail may help reduce inflammation in the body.

Antimicrobial activity: It has shown potential against certain bacteria and fungi.

Antioxidant properties: Horsetail is rich in antioxidants that can protect cells from damage.

Weight loss support: Its diuretic and metabolic effects may aid in weight management.

Blood pressure reduction: The diuretic effect may help lower blood pressure.

Preparation Instructions:

Ingredients:

- 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail stems (or 1 tablespoon for a stronger tea)
- 1 cup of boiling water

Directions:

  1. Bring a cup of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Measure out 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use the higher amount.
  3. Place the dried horsetail in a tea infuser or directly into your cup. Pour the boiling water over the horsetail.
  4. Cover the cup with a lid or small plate to retain steam and let it steep for about 5 to 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor and herbal properties will be.
  5. If you used loose horsetail, strain it out using a fine mesh sieve. If you used an infuser, simply remove it.
  6. Your horsetail tea is ready! You can drink it plain or add sweeteners like agave, maple syrup and/or lime for extra flavor.

NOTE:
- For best results, do not consume horsetail tea for more than one week continuously to avoid potential side effects such as dehydration or mineral loss.

Net Wt. 2 Oz

**Disclaimer: It's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand horsetail's effects. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using horsetail or any herbal supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

It's important to note that horsetail tea should be avoided by pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with alcoholism, diabetes, or low potassium levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding horsetail tea to your diet, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

Common Side Effects

Gastrointestinal Issues
- Upset stomach

Long-term or excessive use can lead to loss of important minerals in the body, potentially causing:

‘Was Nugget’s power guiding me to help people?’ – a fantasy tale to cherish!
Format: Kindle
Diane Alber teams with Ryan Thomas in creating their PURPLE SPACE CHICKENS series, books that focus on inspiring art and creativity in children. The characters (both human and animal) sparkle throughout and the authors open with a taste of the fun to come introducing the boy Bear: ‘My name is Bear…It’s a code name I gave myself. Why a code name? Well, everyone in this book has one. Trust me, it’s better that way. I don’t want you knowing who I really am because the last thing I need is NASA asking a dozen questions - or worse, taking my little friend. But I had to document everything, because this experience is straight out of this world…literally.’ And with that intro we meet little chicken Nugget and the story sails forth with an amazingly entertaining and creative plot. There are many attributes to this series intended for grade school kids – one fine chapter book stories that will definitely continue!

Yes. definitely yes.
Format: Kindle
Rounding up from 4.5. This was a great read and has earned the title of my second favorite sapphic fantasy behind Aurora’s Angel. (Granted, there isn’t a huge amount of competition.) The two main characters are well written and there is plenty of swoon to keep you happy. It’s a slow burn (which I love) and it was done very well. The author keeps you riding on the excitement of what is to be. The longing looks, the subtle touches, the loaded dialogue. It was all great. Each interaction brought the two MCs closer together in such a sweet way. The plot was a good one and keeps you entertained without being overdone or making you too anxious. The book is well written and uses some period language (which I appreciate) without being too pretentious. It is well paced and flows very well from one scene to the next. No boring parts to suffer through. The reason for the missing half star: There were parts that I felt could have used more finesse, or maybe more explanation concerning Della’s insistence on seducing Galeon. The passion was there but it seemed like Della was being reckless at times. But maybe that was the point. I also wished that some of the supporting characters were a little more fleshed out. I wanted to know more about them. It doesn’t get nearly as deep into any aspect the way Auroras Angel did, but I don’t consider that a bad thing per se. It’s just a shorter and lighter read without as much depth. But still enjoyable Overall, this was a great book and I look forward to the future installments. Definitely recommend.

Will definitely be reading the second independent book in this series!
Format: Kindle
A slow burn fantasy novel that showcases the finer instances of romantic gestures and quick stolen glances in between the big showy, epic events. Once I picked up the book I could not put it down until I completed it fully. It was easy to get attached to the characters and I was happy that they didn't try to fit a hetero normative and instead felt to be a truly sapphic/queer relationship. The ending had me at the edge of my seat! While very immersive and easy to get sucked into the world built, I think what would take this to the next level would be more detailed world building. I found I yearned most for this book to get into the nitty gritty of describing and bringing to life the horrific transformations of the witches. I also felt some of the dialogue was a bit too modern which took me out of the older fantasy setting this story was set in for a second. Overall a great book that was easy to allow yourself to get immersed in and tugged around emotionally along with the characters. Loved it!!
