I am adding a recipe that I tried and tested on myself. It helped me 100%. I had unbelievable back pain and I couldn’t even sleep properly. Some time ago I had surgery on my lower back and since then my problems recurred very often. This recipe is very old and if I hadn’t been desperate, I probably wouldn’t have even tried it. The second reason is that we have a lot of horsetail in the area, so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it. In the end my grandfather couldn’t come up with this recipe. Because I now know how much it can help, I consider it my duty to pass it on to other people.
Recipe for removing lower back, joint and bone pain
We will need
- 60% alcohol (I use Alpa)
- horsetail
How to do it?
Pour the alcohol or Alpa into a jar. Then squeeze the horsetail as much as possible. Close the jar, place it on the windowsill and let it infuse for about 2 weeks. Then thoroughly soak coarse gauze in the solution and in the evening wrap it / or apply it to the sore spot (I used it not only on the lower back, but also on sore heels and my husband’s knees).
Cover with foil and a wrap, without getting into bed. Let it work overnight, especially so the area does not cool down. I repeat it for 3 nights and to my surprise the pain disappeared after the first nights; after the third night, which we applied it, it was gone. Definitely at my age I pay more attention, but I must say that over-the-counter ointments did not help me this way. I recommend using it as a certified recipe from a natural pharmacy.

Horsetail has very strong diuretic properties and helps with kidney problems, urinary tract inflammation and helps eliminate harmful substances and bacteria from the body that cause painful inflammation. Its strength is so great that with regular use it can dissolve sand and stones deposited in the excretory system. Besides acute problems, it is also excellent as a prevention of unpleasant problems and is especially suitable for people who suffer from recurring inflammation of the urinary tract and kidneys.
Besides the urinary tract, horsetail is also very beneficial for the health of blood vessels. It improves the elasticity of the vessel wall, prevents hardening and improves blood flow. It also helps remove harmful substances from the vascular system more quickly, and thus helps not only the kidneys, but also the liver and other organs in our body. It is also beneficial for other diseases related to the vascular and circulatory system, such as gout, rheumatism, varicose veins or inflammation. It is also very effective for painful inflammations in the throat.
How to use horsetail?
A very popular relaxation method is a horsetail bath. To prepare it, pour 150 g of horsetail into 1 liter of cold water. Let it infuse for 12 hours and then add it to the bath. This method helps relieve joint and lower back pain and is also used for prostate problems.
The most common way to use horsetail is in the form of tea. To prepare it you need 2 teaspoons of dried horsetail, which must be boiled for about 30 minutes in 1/2 liter of water. It is advisable to drink the tea 2-3 times a day.
Besides these methods, decoctions are also used – these are used, for example, for healing wounds or for skin diseases. For sore throats, a horsetail gargle is effective, which you prepare the same way as tea (you can use a larger amount of horsetail, as in the case of tea).
When harvesting horsetail, however, be careful of a plant very similar to horsetail, a poisonous horsetail. It grows mainly in marshes and, unlike horsetail, has a rougher stem and more pronounced ribbing.
