Description
Field horsetail/Prêle des champs (Equisetum arvense). No original idea for the tittle...
The plant contains several substances which can be used medicinally. It is rich in the minerals silicon (10%), potassium, and calcium. The buds are eaten as a vegetable in Japan and Korea in spring time. (wikipedia)
De par sa richesse en éléments minéraux surtout en silice, mais aussi en potassium, et en calcium, elle a un effet reminéralisant et diurétique. Le manuel d'herboristerie, étudié pour l'examen national jusqu'en 1942 la prescrivait pour ses minéraux afin de soigner la peau, les tissus conjonctifs en cas de fragilité des cartilages, des tendons et des os et dans l'acné.
La consommation de silice sous forme végétale est importante pour l'organisme humain car c'est un facteur limitant la perte de densité osseuse (wikipedia)
