Horsetail is one of the oldest medicinal plants , and its special feature is its exceptionally high content of silicon dioxide (silica). This mineral plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of connective tissues and in the healthy functioning of hair, skin and nails. Horsetail is a plant widely used in traditional medicine as a diuretic, wound healing and for the treatment of skin problems.

Advantages:

• Thanks to its high silicon content, it supports collagen and elastin formation, thereby improving the structure of connective tissues, hair and skin.

• It can help strengthen weak, brittle nails.

• Supports skin regeneration, promoting wound healing.

• Due to its mild diuretic effect, it can help regulate the body's fluid balance.

• Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, it can contribute to the balanced functioning of the immune system.

Why is it useful for thyroid problems and hair loss?

Common accompanying symptoms of hypothyroidism include hair loss, weak nails, and dry and slow-regenerating skin. Horsetail can provide natural support for these problems:

• Silica stimulates the production of keratin and collagen, which are the primary building blocks of hair, nails, and skin.

• It contributes to maintaining skin elasticity, which is especially important in cases of hormonal imbalance.

• It promotes the strengthening of hair strands and the formation of new hair strands.

• It can help reduce water retention, which is also a common complaint in hypothyroidism.

• Its anti-inflammatory effect may help alleviate the symptoms of autoimmune processes (e.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis).
