Herbs - Horsetail - Preparations

Horsetail should be boiled for a few minutes (from 5 to 10) to remove any of its B₁ / thiamine-depleting properties.

Decoction: Add one teaspoon of herb to 1 cup hot water and take 3 times daily in moderation. According to Dr. Duke, adding a little sugar to your tea will pull out more silica. Use this method sparingly.
