Wildcrafted Horsetail (Equisetum arvense

Horsetail is an ancient, reed-like plant that has been gathered and prepared in traditional herbal practices for generations. Recognized by its distinctive structure and earthy presence, it has long been appreciated as a simple botanical infusion and dried herb.

Our horsetail is wild-harvested with care and intention, then carefully dried and prepared in small batches to preserve its natural character. From harvesting to storage, every step is done entirely by hand, using traditional methods and without sprays, treatments, or alterations of any kind.

This offering reflects the same standards we use for our own household — thoughtfully gathered plants, careful handling, and deep respect for the land they come from.

Those interested in learning more about horsetail’s history, traditional context, and botanical characteristics are welcome to explore our educational blog, where we share plant knowledge in greater depth.

For preparation, horsetail may be enjoyed as a simple infusion. Add the desired amount to hot water and allow time for a slow, gentle steep, adjusting strength to personal preference.

As with all of our wildcrafted herbs, harvesting is done responsibly and sustainably. We take only small amounts from healthy growth, reseed where appropriate, and never harvest in a way that compromises future regeneration.

Alberta Wildcraft is a family-run operation, and every purchase directly supports our small business and the values it’s built on — ethical wildcrafting, traditional methods, and respect for the land we work with.
