Through the use of recipes based on field horsetail, the following therapeutic effects can be achieved:

• Disinfecting effect.
• Reduction of swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages due to the flavonoid glycosides included in the plant.
• Increasing the general resistance of the body due to biostimulating substances present in the horsetail (apigenin, phenolcarboxylic, oxalic and silicic acid, quercetin).
• Cleansing the nasopharynx and tonsils from pathogenic bacteria, which is possible thanks to the tannins that are part of the horsetail. The most important in this regard are tannin, pyrocatechol and phenol.
• Trace elements from horsetail contribute to strengthening the body: copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium.
• Horsetail is rich in vitamins, including: vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin E.

Filter the liquid, squeeze the pulp through cheesecloth. Pour 20-30 drops of infusion into each nostril. If the treatment is carried out for an adult, then you can simply suck in the liquid through your nose. The therapy should be continued for 15 days.

In parallel, you should strengthen the immune system and follow all the doctor's recommendations.
