Since we produced the “Alternatives to Dentists” training, the question Nikki (TGN’s happiness director) gets most often has become, “Where can I get some rough horsetail?”

You probably recall that “horsetail” also known as "rough horsetail" is the main herb recommended in the training course. 

Benefits:

Equisetum hyemale is not only beneficial to your dental health but to your body overall. Equisetum hyemale has been known to:

• Improve dental health (strengthen teeth and gums)
• Strengthen bones
• Improve hair growth
• Heal wounds
• Improve joints and tendon health 

Use:

Equisetum hyemale can be used as a dietary supplement. At any stage of its life, it can be trimmed, dried, powdered, and ingested.

You can add this to water or a smoothie. You can add it to capsules. We just ask that you avoid hot tea as the heat takes from the benefit of the hyemale.

We recommend 1 tsp. per day for 6-10 days (rest for 3 weeks - repeat) for the best results.
