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.
