Pony tail, Equiseto minor

rat; al. Schanchtelhalm;
English
. Horse - tail.
Part sterile air.
The stems sterile, green, the stems appear after fertile. The stem is hollow and
has
deep striations, secondary branches,
home
runs, are compact and are arranged in whorls. The blades, welded, forming
a
leaf sheath 6 - 12 teeth with the tip black.

is cosmopolitan. The dozen listed species in France is growing in muddy soil moist even richer in clay and silica: ditches, edges of ponds, flooded fields.
Chemical composition.
The drug does not contain
specific
compounds: contains numerous acidic aliphatic,
a
long chain dicarboxylic acid, fenilpropánicos acids, phenols, sterols, traces of alkaloids. Several flavonoids have been described: monoglucósidos of quercetol and kenferol, diglucósidos of kenferol. Some seem to exist only in the fertile stems: gosipitrina, protogenkwarina [49] 6 - chloro apigenol [50th] having proved the existence of chemical races [58]
All varieties have an extraordinarily rich in minerals (20% of dry
weight
) particularly in
potassium
and
silicon
.
Silicon
, majority, is presented mostly in the form of insoluble Opaline concretions, which are located in the epidermis and colénquimas peripherals. For some authors,
a
fraction of silica is presented in soluble form allowing their transportation assets (not detected in the groundwater) silicates or water - soluble

Pharmacological data.
The experimental results show
a
diuretic action. The amendments to eliminate water,
sodium
and
potassium
found in the rat, are belied by the work of Vallière showing the effects on
urinary
cations and
a
slight increase in water disposal. These data confirm the results of past experiences and routinely cited to justify this property, as well as those obtained by the same route
but
in animals previously exposed to an overload of water.
Officially, recognizing ownership of the drug "favor the elimination of renal water. " In addition, the pony tail is remineralizing. It is known that the
silicon
is present in varying forms at the level of macromolecules constituent of connective tissue.
Some authors assume that this element plays an important role in the structural organization of these, there emerged numerous applications, mainly in cosmetology. The
silicon
is also known for its properties antiateromatosas studied in animal.
Observations on the Man.
It does not appear that this drug
has
been tested in the usual sense of the term. The "favorable results" refer to bone
disorders
, whether or not
trauma
.
A
study with clinical follow - up
has
shown that prolonged treatment increases the elimination of
calcium
and phosphate, decreases the uricemia, however, by increasing the uricosuria, can facilitate the emergence of crystals Urata.
Employment.
While the known toxicity of the pony tail for herbíboros, particularly in the horse, it seems that is not documented any cases of poisoning in humans. The massive ingestion of contaminated fodder for horses causes symptoms of

Precautions.
Does not recommend long - term care for people with
a
history of
kidney
stones
. Recommend not take much salt and warn that the carbonated drinks and
vegetables
carry salts that can hold liquids. For people with
stomach
hipoacidez they should recommend ingerirlo at once with food acids because the reabsorption of
silicon
is best in an acidic
medium

The drug.
The stems of pony tail, hollow and
articulated
in knots, vertically striated in the internodes, presented at
each
node, concrescentes leaves at the base which form
a
jagged leaf sheath. The cut of the stem shows
a
skin of silica walls. The silica also permeates the fabric colenquimatoso located in the ribs. The endodermis is
common
in all the steles. The existence of
a
wall intercellular level of the peak of the epidermis allows to distinguish it from all other species of this genus. The residue obtained after extraction and purification in acidic conditions of the other reextracción in alkaline
