Equisetum arvense is the Latin botanical name for Shavegrass Herb. It is often commonly referred to as horsetail, bottle brush, equisetum or scouring rush. Shavegrass Herb contains silica, calcium and potassium. Equisetum arvense should not be used if you have renal or cardiac dysfunction.
Horsetail is Equisetum, one of the oldest plant lineages still alive: its relatives were tree-sized in the coal forests, and the living plants are almost unchanged. The stems are rich in silica, which is where both other names come from. Scouring rush and shavegrass earned their keep scrubbing pots and sanding wood before abrasives came in tins.
Bring filtered or spring water to 212°F. Add 1 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 7 minutes.
