The plant at that time was as tall as a modern palm tree. Horsetail, not to be confused with cat-tail, is possibly the most abundant source of silica in the plant kingdom, so much so that the herb can be used for polishing metal. It got the name “scouring rush” from this very application. It has had other uses over the ages, including as an ingredient in shampoos, skincare products, and dietary supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe German E commission describes its use for urinary tract problems and as a diuretic. When taking horsetail powder for its diuretic effect, be sure to drink extra water for maximum benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Avoid if there are kidney stones. Don’t take horsetail herb if you take an ACE inhibitor for high blood pressure and you have congestive heart failure, as the combination of the herb and the drug can cause accumulation of excessive potassium. Not recommended while pregnant. Toxicity similar to nicotine poisoning has been seen in children who ingest large amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Magick, Horsetail is ruled by Saturn and the Earth.
