Healthy Horsetail Think that horsetail is just for good skin, strong nails and healthy hair? Think agai.
Prehistoric Horsetail and Modern Healing Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a direct descendant of the giant fern-like plants that covered the Earth some 200 million years ago. Today a much smaller version of this prehistoric perennial, resembling asparagus, can be found growing in moist or sandy soil along shady steams and creeks in early spring.
