Horsetail grass, also known as shave grass, bottle brush, and scouring rush, was traditionally used over the centuries in the West and the East for its astringent and wound healing properties.

Studies show that horsetail grass high content of silicon as silica makes it useful as a wound healing agent, particularly for the repair and maintenance of connective tissue. Studies also show that dietary silicon helps inhibit the loss of mineral mass from bone while stimulating bone formation, suggesting that it may play an important therapeutic role in osteoporosis.
