DESCRIPTION
This primitive plant with no direct affinity to any of its more modern counterparts is descended from a super-sized ancestor that could grow up to 30m (100ft) tall and which was itself a descendant of the Palaeozoic era of more than 300 million years ago. Long considered a wound-healing herb, horsetail (which now grows to around 35cm/14in) contains large amounts of silicic acid, silicates and alkaloids (including nicotine) that support the regeneration of connective tissues and the clotting of blood.
