Field horsetail  (Equisetum arvense) Growing by the roadside > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/943907" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/943907">Link</a>. Field Horsetail contains a number of chemicals with medicinal properties: it is rich in silicon, potassium, and calcium, and can be used to treat cartilage, tendon, and bone problems as well as polyps, epistasis and bleeding, kidney and bladder problems, gastro-enteritis, prostate and urinary infections. Applied externally it can be used for treating chilblains and wounds. The buds are eaten as a vegetable in Japan in spring time. It was also once used as a polish for pewter and wood and to strengthen fingernails.  Hurdy-Gurdy players used the plant to dress the wheels of their instruments.
