Mineral-rich, earthy, and deeply traditional, our organic horsetail comes from Equisetum arvense, an ancient botanical often called shavegrass or scouring rush. This distinctive herb has been used for generations in Western herbal practice and is especially valued as a steady, supportive plant for long-term routines.
Horsetail's hollow, reed-like stems are carefully harvested and dried to preserve the plant's natural character. Traditionally, organic horsetail is prepared as a decoction rather than a quick infusion, allowing its dense plant structure to release more fully into tea. It is also commonly used in herbal vinegars, tonics, and blended formulas.
Historically, horsetail has stood out for its unusually high natural silica content and its long cultural use in both herbal and practical applications. Herbalists often view it as a grounding, structural herb that pairs well with other mineral-forward botanicals in intentional daily practice.
At Apotheka, our organic horsetail is sourced with care for quality, purity, and freshness. Each batch is selected to deliver a clean, vibrant herb suited for teas, decoctions, and traditional preparations, offering a timeless addition to your apothecary.
