Horsetail

A bristly, jointed green rush that sailors ashore have long boiled for their bones and joints — fitting for a crew whose backs take a beating hauling rope and rigging through every gale.

Traditional use: Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a natural source of silica and is traditionally used in folk herbalism to support bone density and joint, hair, skin and nail health, and as a gentle diuretic.

How it's brewed: boil a tablespoon of the herb in 2 cups of spring water for 5 minutes, steep for 15 minutes, strain, and drink 2 cups per day.

Ship's Terms: Shipments within the U.K sail via Royal Mail Tracked 48. Shipments beyond our shores sail via Royal Mail® International Tracked, 3-6 days to port. Take heed: this crew sails from the U.K. Any cargo bound for foreign shores may be boarded by customs and charged duties or taxes on arrival — that toll be yours to pay, not ours. Chart your own country's import rules via the Department for International Trade before ye order. On overcharges: should your bank statement show a sum heavier than the price at the till, know this be no trickery — the Pound often outweighs the Dollar and other currencies, so what lands on your statement may run higher than what you saw at checkout. Our thanks for your understanding, shipmate. Every delivery must be signed for upon arrival. No refunds be given once the goods have set sail.
