The common name of the plant whose scientific name is Equisetum arvense is field or common horsetail. The plant is rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, and silicon. So one of its many uses is as an effective diuretic. Another is as a fresh springtime vegetable, which the Japanese make from the plant's buds. Still another is as pewter and wood polisher, for which it has come to be called pewterwort. Another application that draws on the plant's more abrasive qualities is as a resin build up cleaner by Hurdy-Gurdy players. Yet another is as a fingernail strengthener. And yet another is as herbal remedies internally to bladder, gastro-intestinal, kidney, prostate and urinary ailments; and externally for chilblains and wounds.
