I love horsetail expands veins and blood vessels also
My new drip watering system helped create an over-moist environment that encouraged an amazing growth in the few horsetails I had in my huge garden (much to my dismay). However, after watching your video (and reading other information from reputable sites) I realize that the plant that I'm usually swearing at may, instead, end up being my FAVORITE plant! I've often wondered what the heck horsetails were good for...and now I know. What an eye opener. Thank you so very, very much.
I am just beginning my adventure with herbs. This is the BEST information I have received. You have touched on everything I could have a question about. You make me feel confident is harvesting and using Horsetail. Thank you!
Awesome!
I absolutely LOVE your website and videos. They are so very much appreciated! Thank you. Love the narrator, does a wonderful job.
Your video was informative and kept my attention. Thank you!
Thank you so much. You have covered everything very well.
Wow that is some wild information and the intro that it used to grow about a hundred feet tall in ancient times... really fascinating and mind-blowing
Thank you so much!. Very informative.
i like it that you dont use a computer voice!! thank you. very. good infromation .great video!!
Much much appreciated...fine job in all👍Subed
Loved this video !
Marjory Wildcraft states that the Equisetum hyemale contains more silica than the arvense - and recommends it over arvense for that need...ie mineralizing teeth or to make a hair tonic.
So informative.TY
Thank you for sharing
THANK you SuperfoodEvolution!!! I sist here giggling! So happy I come across your channel. Thank you!
Awesome...
Wonderful video! Thank you. Shared
I have this damn weed growing in my garden and i hate it ! Didn't realize it could be used for medical purposes .
Same
The roots go meters under the ground once you have it ...its hard to get rid. White winiger is good for breaking down the silicone on the leaves of the plant so it will absorb it better and kill the plant off for a while. I have it all over mine. If i had a flame thrower id use that instead.
Thank you very informative 👏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Horsetail is also atm highly contagious growth. Once its in your garden its very very hard to get rid of and can spread easily.
Wow just found you. Hope all your videos are this good. Will check out your site.
Great video so much awesome información
Loved the video. :)
Awesome!
Found your video on horsetail while doing other research. Very informative.. Thanks.

Informative and well composed - homeopatic way of gold intake - thank you
I love these videos, but i think its funny that the majority of the ads are for pharmaceuticals
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for mentioning the dust, I've had to warn friends about perlite, which also is like glass.
Earthling Dylan
Yes, l just finished using my Vita-Mix on very low speed to chop the needles into small pieces, all the while breathing in the dust. *(cough-cough)*. Not bad though, but woll be more cautious with my next harvest, which is today!
Thanks for this great info. I make soaps and creams. I shall be using horsetail in my shampoo bars. It grows in the marshes not too far from me.
That is really cool and can you please tell me if you ever made the soap with the horse's tail plant in it
Very interesting, I always thought of it as a particularly pernicious weed, it's good to know I can use it in a tea. I had heard that it had anti fungal properties and might be useful as an organic fungicidal spray against potato blight etc. down at my allotment, however I haven't found much in the way of information to back this up and haven't tried it out in an experiment either.
Yes! It is good for that also
Can Horsetail be infused in oil? or is is only water or alcohol based?
Other than that question, this video was highly informative and helpful 👍 Thank you 😊
+Denise Frickey, I'm sure your comments were meant to be helpful, but I would like to respond by saying that all people do not learn the same way. Some learn by hearing, some by reading, some seeing visuals, some with all the senses, some not. Superfood has accommodated all. I do not need background music either, but it seems everyone is doing it, so I tolerate it. Except most have the music louder than the narrator, which is difficult for me as I have a hearing deficit and the loud music interferes with narration. At least Superfood has their music toned softer than the narrator. The narrator does have a clear, distinct voice and most pronunciations are good. The main thing is that the message comes forth. I too noticed the nutritive pronunciation. It was almost correct, but not quite. However, since the message was in print as well, we all know what he was meaning to say. A minor and forgivable infraction of the whole message being presented. I once upon a time did transcriptions of medical reports and you would be surprised how poorly doctors pronounce their medical terminology. All in all, I think Superfood does a marvelous job of presentation in all their videos. I have learned much from them and appreciate their work greatly. I have never yet met an individual who was all the way perfect all the time. If you meet this qualification, I would like to meet you, or maybe you should make some videos for youtube, or have you done that already.Blessings to all.
Agree. Their are 7 ways people learn. Smiles..
Man-made isolates of Silica are just like all the other man made isolate vitamins and minerals. They will stimulate but leter enervate. Whereas, if you consume the whole plant ie Horsetail or any herb, you get all the added buffers that enable the body to recognize, break down, utilize and eliminate the herb with no enervation.
What does leter enervate mean?
@@silverhranch I meant later enervate. Thanks for catching that. Enervate means to weaken. When you consume something other than what is appropriate for our species the body doesn't recognize it or know how to utilize it. So at best it stimulates and appears to be working but it can eventually do just the opposite. I've seen this using liquid "Trace Minerals" which resulted in a worse case of Pica in a cat.
Enervate Effect... interesting. - I learned something thanks!
@@silverhranch You are welcome. Yes. It turns out it is not enough to use part of a Nature grown plant by itself ( that has been isolated from its constituents or the other parts of the plant and "improved" by man in a laboratory). The synergy of all the parts working in concert is lost. The GI tract doesn't recognize it. I discovered this nearly 20 years after thinking the man-made so called "natural" vitamins and minerals were the be- all- end- all in the early 2000s. It was better late then never I suppose but I wish back in the 90s I'd spent as much time learning about whole herbs as I did on man made "natural" food supplements.
@@emilybh6255
That's so interesting thank you. I'm a newbie forager, started in 2021 and have naturally versed towards herbal remedies with an increasing distrust towards anything Pharma!
The pine tree is a big favourite of mine with many uses and terrific healing powers. 😍👌
Why do you have to have a noise machine going in the background? Can't listen. Drives me crazy.
Turn the sound off and read for yourself, it's much easier anyway. *smiles*
Rob Laffin I like the noise machine Sir
Really!
This is good info and you complain about the sound?
I can see you're an adult man but not a mature one.
Some comments are irrelevant I tell you...
That's really odd that you're complaining about it because usually I am very sensitive to sounds and certain kinds of music but I find this kind of soothing and it helps with concentrating on what is being said
Thanks for the info ,perhaps I can start regrowing my hair since I am going bald ,this herb has been growing in my yard since forever ,I will now pick my own just like I have been doing with my dandelion plants and me stinging nettles .
Are you using it for hair growth? Has it helped? Any info from you would be nice.
@@jamesmana5247 oh well so much for getting a response.. I was interested in the answer to your question that you asked them
zinc is important too.
Where can I purchase equisetum arvense plant? I can only find the hyemale
Thank you for the video. It would have been helpful for you to say something about different stages at which you can harvest the plant. More pictures/video would have been helpful as well
Noted! Thanks for watching...
@@SuperfoodEvolution Hi. Could you tell me..or di you know where I can find the information as to when/if its ok to harvest in May, when plant is full grown? Also nettle. Thank you.
Take note that to have the Silica, the plant must be in SANDY soil. It makes the silica from the sand .
Thank you for sharing. I am from Chicago and would like to know where can I buy this plant.
Ooh, it grows everywhere in California, so not sure, sorry...
I know an area near my home that is along the river shoreline forest that has 100's of acres of what I believe is horsetail. They grow from 1 to 5 ft like your video says, and look like mini versions of bamboo. They grow straight up, and I do not see the shaggy tail end on them, at least not on the long ones. Does this sound like the right plant? Actually after google imading I found one called, Equisetum hyemal which looks like the one I found. They also grow along side 100's of acres of fiddlehead/ferns which I harvested today which filled up two grocery bags. Speaking of fiddleheads, when are you guys going to do a video on fiddleheads?
Can someone help me
I want to make a green battery
Is this good to use as the electrolyte
The idea is Hemp + Horsetail = Eco Battery
Would this work or would I need a different electrolyte
The reason for thinking this might work is the high concentration of silica
I have never seen the horsetail growing where I live but there are tons of the scouring rush here, would I harvest it the same way? Or do you have any other info on the scouring rush? Thank you :)
reeram We believe that scouring rush has some of the medicinal properties as horsetail. Yes you would harvest and prepare it the same way. Good luck!
thank you for this video!I have found a place near my house with lots of horsetail but I have read that there is a species called equisetum palustre that is not healthy to use. How can we discriminate which is the right plant ?
It's poisonous to herbivorous animals not humans.
What s Equisetum Hyemale. ?
does horsetail help you lose weight
Thank you.
BUT please inform also about the features of Equisetum arvense as opposed to Equistum palustre, because the latter is poisonous. For harvesting it oneself in nature, it is important then to know the different features.
Do i harvest only leaves or the stem.too?
Leaves and stem.
can you show the difference between horsetail and marestail please. :-)
I'll pass that on...
It's helpful in bulging disk ??
Plz suggest .. 🙏
That's not for us to prescribe sorry...
is there any horsetail to purchase , as I like to grow them if possible ?
Do not try to grow this plant as a herb or vegetable it will take over your garden and all your neighbors gardens.
It has no use what so ever and is almost impossible to kill it even with weed killer.Its a pest like the plant version of a rat.
It can be killed with a daily spray of diesel over a long period of time.But even if you think you have got rid of it after months of spraying fuel around your garden youll be sat there enjoying a nice g&t in the garden and the fucker will pop up somewhere. Its a cunt of a plant. Also dogs piss on it so dont eat it.
have tried to grow with no success ,for tea ? herb on joints pain ? etc, would use if possible for health ?
Somebody said it needs sand to actually create the silica and that makes sense so you are better off growing it and its own little bed of sand and not near other plants
Supurb info and needs to get to everybody. Subbed and liked. May I mirror this to my channel please? Respect. D.G.
How to keep my horsetail in pot standing straight? ... Using them as privacy screen
We've never grown it, only harvested it in the wild...
It grows like crazy in my front garden, I thought it is a weed
Tick tick tick ticktick
Good information, maybe not organized the best, but lots. Great speaking voice--necessary for this scripted thing. But God help me, that background music is so horrible that I want to strangle somebody. It's really hard to listen to. Please, please, change or eliminate the music!! Music can be healing or sickening. The voice is so good, pleasant and professional you could do without music altogether. That would be better than just replacing the bad music with more bad music.
Pia
irritating music should not be so big a deal if you have the real peace of God. May God bless your seeking after him.👏
There is no silica in human bones. Plant is very chewy to say the least, it is good as an abrasive for cleaning cooking pans when out camping.
you can juice it in a wheatgrass juicer
Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones especially calcium. Stop spreading disinformation
THAT FOR THIS REASON WE ASSINATED OUINTES PASTOR BREAKING NOTRE DAME DE PARIS ?
WHy do I get a nasty headache when I drink that tea ?
hovnanian That's weird, probably a sign that it's not for you?
SuperfoodEvolution well, I could drink it for 15-20 years ago with no sign, but nowdays it feel like the head gonna explose after drinking that tea, weird.
***** from health shop I buy now.
@Reerei Dia What has that to do with this tea ?
And i thought it was poisonous :)
Good information, you have a good set of informational videos. Two suggestions however. Please use more photos and less text. I am very visual, and don't need to be both read to and read for myself simultaneously. Second, please watch your pronunciations. You seem to have difficulty with the scientific nomenclature. And you should learn to say 'nutritive' correctly. It is not 'noo trit tit iv'. You are adding a syllable. It is 'noo tri tiv'. Don't mean to nit pick, I was just taught that if you want to represent yourself as an expert or authority, you should master the language of your subject.
I need to say this, be appreciative for such valuable information and don't point miss spelling , look beyond this point. What kind of a person are you to judge and criticize .
This added greatly to my education 👍🏼
you are born to teach, Denise, teachers for home schooling are desperately needed everywhere. i hope you do use your talent to the max in order to find happiness. lovely knit picking i enjoyed, why not, have some humor always.
I search TH-cam to see and learn what things look like, I know how to read
That's an oldy, check out the newer format...
very sexy music indeed
Never plant this weed as it will ruin your garden and is harder to get rid of than Japanese knotweed.
If you research horse tails, you will find that a moist soil with high acidity are among the reasons you may have horse tail problems in your garden. I've read that one needs to fix low lying areas where water is accumulating as well as using dolomite lime to increase the PH in your soil, I'm going to do that on my rocky areas that are difficult to weed, but I have decided to harvest the horsetails that grow throughout the rest of my 9000 sq ft garden., Just turnin' lemons into lemonade!
HardTarget Jimmy is right, I've a nightmare 5 years trying to get rid of Mare's Tail. I'm abour to try Pearl Systemic (Glyphosaye Ammonium) - I've seen some videos by ProGreen recommending Kibosh (I reckon it looks & soynds exactly the same as this Pearl I've just bought).
My garden is not very wet at all. Mare's Tail is very hardy and can grow rid in most conditions. Actually, interestingly, it grows rife in hot weather for me (May&June start).
Horsetail absolutely wrecks your garden. It takes over and is a very voracious pest leaving little room for anything else. It's one of the worst plants you can get. Consider this before planting it.
It's a weed, so yes it'll easily take over. It's incredibly healthy though and it can even remove aluminum from your system, preventing various neurological diseases, so you might wanna lower your tone.
Agree - it's like Japenese Knotweed- Grows deep and the spores sprread fast and wide!
@@goodgirlsguide
Yes.! And Japanese Knotweed has been demonised & they encourage removal yet, it has healing powers !
Stop it! There is no such thing as million year old plants. You're repeating a lie and you look foolish.
Vaughn Malecki lol grow a brain before commenting
Andrew Fan You mean bow down to your fairytale books? No thanks I'd rather trust logic, reason and science in this present world I reside in.
Vaughn Malecki,
You may trust logic, reason and science, but you really need to double check your ability to comprehend what you are reading. There is no mention of million year old plants in the video. Try reading the line below that comes from this video, and see if you can tell that it says nothing about million year old plants.
"the descendant of a large Equus sedum species that grew millions of years ago in the Paleozoic era"
Thats right, not 1 mil. This plant goes back 3 million years.Oldest fossil plant
