After suffering with Colitis for 2 years and subsequently after large amounts of steroid treatment and ongoing anti-inflammatories, my hair began to thin and my facial skin tone was dull and grey. After my steriod "moon face" reduced to its normal size my skin was left more baggy. I remebered my mother taking horsetail as a top up, and her skin and hair always looked radiant, so I therefore throught perhaps this would help, - and yes, over an initial period of allowing approx 4-6 for horsetail to enter my system, I must admit, my hair and skin have certainly improved. I must also comment though, that seperately my overall health is on the Up anyway.
