Horsetail Tincture – Natural Healing from the Zlatibor Mountains
What is Horsetail Tincture? Horsetail tincture is a natural herbal remedy made from the horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense), known for its health-boosting properties. It is traditionally used in natural medicine to support hair, skin, nail health, and bone strength due to its rich silica content. This tincture is made by extracting the plant’s active compounds using alcohol, resulting in a potent, easy-to-use liquid form.
Where Does It Come From? Our horsetail is harvested from the pristine Zlatibor Mountains, a region untouched by modern industry, far from traffic and urban pollution. The horsetail grows on clean soil that has never been exposed to chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or other toxins, ensuring its purity and natural quality.
Handcrafted Quality Every step of our horsetail tincture production is done by hand, from harvesting the plant to preparing the final product. This careful and traditional approach ensures that the natural properties of the plant are fully preserved in each bottle, giving you a high-quality, potent herbal remedy.
