For internal use, create an infusion using 1 teaspoon of equiset for every cup of water. In cases of bleeding, you can use 2-3 teaspoons of equiset for 1 cup of water. You can also take it in the form of a decoction for various health problems, such as digestive system problems, hemorrhoids, breathing problems and urological problems.
For hair, you can wash your hair with decoction of equiset and massage the scalp with olive oil. For half-baths, leave the horsehair in cold water to soak overnight. Boil it in the morning and add it to the bath water, staying in for 20 minutes so that the water covers the kidney area. Wrap yourself in a bathrobe and let yourself sweat.
