When using horsetail (horsetail, Horsetail Extract, Equisetum Arvense), it is essential to follow some important rules; otherwise, it is of no use. After starting to drink the herb, all inflammations in the body begin to flow. Due to the expulsion of inflammation and edema, intense tooth, sinus, kidney, bladder, and joint pains may intensify in the first days; after the fourth day, the pains begin to subside. It must be used continuously for 42 days without any interruption; otherwise, you will suffer more harm than benefit. Since herbs carry volatile oils, boiling and drinking them does not allow for treatment. The tablet form also does not provide the same effect.

Stasis Dermatitis

Stasis dermatitis; manifests itself with thickening and itching of the skin on the ankles. Varicose veins in the legs or chronic problems in the veins lead to fluid accumulation (edema) under the skin. Since these areas cannot be adequately nourished with blood, they weaken, and joints often become the area of involvement. Sometimes the skin becomes inflamed or open sores that heal very slowly form around the joint. Initially, the skin thins, but over time it thickens irregularly; this condition can be the result of constant scratching and itching.

In stasis dermatitis, the herbal support without side effects and non-toxic is horsetail tea. It must be used regularly morning and evening for 42 days; there is no harm in continuing in advanced stages.

If steeping in hot water, the mouth should be kept closed (to preserve volatile oils). The contents of tablet capsules can be mixed into lukewarm water and drunk; swallowing the tablet whole without breaking it does not provide the same effect.
