Horsetail, Secret to Long Hair and Strong Nails

Silica is the mineral you want to focus on for increasing hair growth and strengthening your nails.  This beauty mineral can be found in numerous plant sources such as beets, dandelion leaves, tomatoes and other veggie goodies, which include a new favorite of mine, horsetail.  Horsetail has been used for centuries for numerous benefits, but the one I’m obsessing about right now is it’s ability to promote hair growth and stronger nails and teeth.  You can make a mouthwash with it to help with bleeding gums and tonsillitis, soak your nails in a tea solution to get rid of white spots, and just simply pop the herbal capsules for promoting hair growth.  silica food.jpg

This isn’t a very expensive herb either.  I stumbled upon it at my local grocery store (Mercadona) for pretty cheap, it was less than $5, which isn’t bad at all.  However, it can be purchased on Amazon for even cheaper than what I found it for in capsule, loose or bagged tea and extracted liquid form.  You can use the oils to make your own scalp mist or massage oil, the tea to make your mouthwash, take the capsules with a glass of water, or open them up and spike your green smoothie with it.  The possibilities are endless and your door to beautiful hair and nails is open my friends.  Will you walk through that door and pop those pills?  Will you run through the door and start taking the herbal tea shots to the head?

  1. Thank you for the article Nette. I eat and juice most of the fruits and veggies you list. It is amazing how overlooked horsetsil is!
