EQU ISE TUM: AMA ZING C URA TIV E BEN E FIT S O F THE HORSE TA IL H ERB

With the growing dependency on sedentary lifestyle, more and more people are getting diagnosed with some condition or the other. And one of the most reported ones is joint pain, early arthritis, digestion woes, insomnia etc. Additionally, people who are already suffering from this chronic condition fail to resist from the no activity lifestyle trap to avoid pain. However, little do they realize that without any movement, the pain increases instead of decreasing, thus continuing the vicious cycle. Arthritis is an umbrella term that consists of more than 100 types of conditions involving inflammation and joint pain. Moreover, the lack of a well-balanced diet in a sedentary lifestyle often causes a disbalance in the doshas ultimately leading to overall inflammation and accumulation of fluid in the body. While lifestyle modifications, good food and sleep timings, might help one manage swelling and arthritis, incorporating some home remedies and herbs in your diet gives you a surer shot to deal with this condition. Mother Nature has a treasure trove of plant, herbs and spices in her lap to help you out but one potent plant with incredible diuretic and anti-inflammatory property is the humble Equisetum. What Is Equisetum? Equisetum, commonly termed as Horsetail is a natural diuretic and potent medicinal plant of the Equisetaceae family. The plant gets its name Horsetail owing to the brushed appearance of the plant just like the tail of a horse.
