Horsetail Powder:contains high levels of Silica and has traditionally (in Ancient Roman and Greek medicine) been used to help "heal and knit" skin and bones making it a useful herb in products made for inflammation, burns, breaks etc.  The high Silica content also makes Horsetail an excellent anti ageing herb, useful ingredient for brittle nails (maybe infused in a carrier oil) and its high Selenium content makes it a useful ingredient in hair care products, particularly for improved scalp circulation which can stimulate hair growth.  Not suitable for water retention due to impaired cardiac or kidney function

Oatstraw Powder: also another high Silica nutritive herb, which is excellent for the bones (in particular osteoporosis), skin, hair and nails. Oatstraw is also a great nerve tonic for exhaustion, stress and anxiety but can also be applied topically for nerve conditions such as neuralgia.
