Horsetail is a perennial herbaceous plant known to many gardeners as a w**d that is difficult to eradicate. Horsetail reproduces by spores, looks like a mini-tree and looks a bit like a ponytail (horsetail is a derivative of "tail"). As befits a w**d, horsetail does not have its own historical homeland, it is only known in different countries, depending on the climate, its height varies. For example, in Russia it reaches no more than 1-1.5 meters, but in South America you can also find a 12-meter plant. Horsetail contains many useful substances and elements ─ vitamin C, flavonoids, potassium salts, silicic acid salts, bitterness, saponins, carotene, resins and tannins.
