Making Horsetail Toothepaste 

I love learning how to use plants for health 🌱 you are such a wonderful teacher, thank you 🙏🏻💗😇

As soon as the horsetails are coming here in Sweden, I'll be picking some and dry it. Thanks dear Danu for the recipe 🙏 Hugs from Sweden 🐾🐾🙋🏼‍♀️💞🙏

Horsetail....good for scrubbing pans too. Thank you Terry. Stay beautifully blessed. 🙏🥰

The old people had great knowledge of herbs and their own cures. They were their own doctors and chemists, and were healthier because of it. Great to see people using and sharing this knowledge thank you.

So nice to see the Cats and the Dogs, and that brilliant Irish invention, The Kelly Kettle.

This was really interesting I follow several gardening people in the Uk some who talk about the weed horsetail and the problems they gave ridding the vegetables beds if it. I’d never heard of it before had no idea what they were talking about now I do. I’ll recommend they check this video maybe they too could use it benefits

I purchased a charcoal based toothpaste about a year ago cost me nearly £5!!! Great to know thank you again for your instructions and wisdom, educating ppl on saving money and the benefits of our so called 'weeds'.

A beautiful demonstration in the garden! You are both so inspiring on May Day and your animal helpers are always such a joy! Both you and Lol have magnificent smiles 😃.

Grand Rising to you from Lancashire. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Love and blessings 🙏💚🙏

What a lovely concoction for toothpaste, this looks absolutely wonderful and I appreciate you sharing. Hope you have a beautiful rest of your week! Hugs from Vilonia, Arkansas in USA.

Beautiful ❤️ Thank you Terri ❤️ Many blessings to you ❤️🌿

It grows everywhere in my area, I’ll be out foraging and drying some this week. Thanks Terri 🌼

We don’t have this plant where I am in Australia, but I found this very interesting anyway. I always knew their was a link to hair health and general well-being of spirit , how fascinating! 💜

Thank you Terri for another great, informative, helpful video. You really must write that book with all these recipes you share with us, recipes for medicinal remedies, homemade toiletries, homemade household products, etc. Not that you are not busy enough……. It shows what a kind, caring lady you are, devoted to your nature calling, always happy to share your knowledge with us, your viewers. But, I and I’m sure many of your viewers , would love to have a book with all these brilliant, helpful recipes you share with us through your videos . I proudly would have it on my bookshelf and read it with passion, as I do with the other 2 books. Anyway, thank you Terri . And thank you to your Lol for allowing us to see the adorable dogs and cat, which are always the stars of the video. ❤️

Should make surely you dont spit coconut oil in sink , could eventually cause plumbing issues

Thank you, I've only known horsetail to be used for cleaning dishes and getting grim out of farmers hands from older friends. I wasn't aware it contained silica and selenium, thank you for sharing this recipe.

I remember reading an interpretive sign Coloma where gold was first discovered in CA. The gold miners used horsetail for cleaning their pots & dishes! Also, I remember reading the high silica content might be a problem for folks with kidney problems. Thank you for sharing your lovely home & family of furry friends and delightful music :-) My heart feels lighter after I've viewed one of your lessons.

so much wisdom and knowledge!

Thanks you again Terry, I just found some horsetail today! Your a legend.

I've been doing this, thanks to you and it's great. I love how you're not "by the book" and say, "use what you feel is good" That's exactly how my mother has taught me and I surely do. So lovely to have you to relate

I wouldn't have thought of horsetail in toothpaste, but it makes perfect sense. I'll be making this. Thank you! (I thought black kitty was going to steal the show! hahaha)

I was wondering why I've never seen this plant before. After a little research I found out that it's native everywhere except Australia and New Zealand. Interesting stuff :)

Wonderful video, Terri! This will help me make peace with the abundance of it in my vegetable garden 😉

Fab! Adding this one for sure. Thank you Terri. Lovely as ever 🌿❤️

Very interesting, a good amount for minimal cost too. In the stores it is not a cheap item! Thanks for the video, be well.

I use it for tea , my hair, and now.........for my theets.. thank you

Thank you, Terri, and hi from Finland!

"Be sure to label it, otherwise you'll wonder what this black goo is for" 🤣 Black goo ~ how adorable!!! At least the peppermint scent might tip you off. 😄😉

I have all these ingredient & will most certainly try this, thank you! Merry & blessed Bealtaine to you and yours, and everyone! 🔥🌱☘💚✨

I'm beginning to have a whole new appreciation for herb's and about time too. Was hoping you would give us a demonstration 😁🤣. Blessings ☘️🌷☘️

Terri I could listen to you all day long.Fantastic information such a wealth of knowledge Thank you for the video xx🌀🙏🏼

We must be on the same weather pattern, it was cloudy on Sunday and Monday, it's raining. Those horsetails, are everywhere I guess Ill start picking and use it.

I have lots of horsetail growing in my garden and use it for the potato blight and sometimes in herbal infusions. It's great to learn horsetail can be used in cooking as well, I'll definitely include it in my recipes.

Thank you so much for your recipe,dear terri............Have a good week too..............Blessings and greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany I count the days that I am in Ireland.....☘☘☘

Thank you again so much for this video. As a hairstylist I can tell you first hand that I have seen the profound positive affects of hair styling on people no matter their stage of life. It's pretty incredible to witness. I've had the privilege of doing "end of life" hair cuts and styles and it truly made a difference for that person. Peace Love and Namaste from Canada 🇨🇦

I WISH I had horsetail in my yard. My friends think I'm nuts for wanting and planting what they consider to be weeds. I'm trying to start some Purple Dead Nettle from seed.

Bealtaine Blessings. Thanks for sharing the benefits of horsetail.

Thank you so much!! I will try this immediately. I live in the US. I'm looking for seeds or horsetail plant. I feel so blessed to have found you.

Thank you Terri…wonderful recipe to try when my horsetail is abundant!

That was so interesting seeing how we can make natural toothpaste. Thank you Terri

I’ve watched every single video of yours and bought your books. I have learned so very much. Thank you.

Loved this and so practical… I’ll be sure to go and pick some when I next see it. Your mortar and pestle is fab Terri - just like a chalice!

Thank you for taking the time to teach us about herbs. Interesting toothpaste.

Just made this last night for me and my children! I like this recipe better than using the bentonite clay! I ordered the dried organic horsetail from starwest botanicals. They always seem to have what I am not growing at home! Now I am making your rose infused water. Next to dry my calendula to make an infused oil!!❤️I love your channel so much!!

Thank you for giving us the recipe and priceless knowledge! I found some Horsetail today 💕🌿🌿🌿

So excited to make this 😊 As well as find some Hoursetail 💕 thx

Thank you for the lovely video I shall definitely make dome of this tooth paste... horse tail is abundant on the allotments much to everyones horror... I shall have to educate them x x love and blessings x x

I'm living in a strange place right now. But I went for a walk before Beltane. I am in the US so it's 2:20 in the morning, the morning of the first. So on my walk I saw at least 20 herbs that are so beneficial! But the city sprays the trail. I have no way of knowing because it takes about four days for things to die down. And there's nobody to answer the question whether it's been sprayed or not. It's so sad because I have needs for the herbs there. There is so much food that I can drive for my rescue guinea pigs! I put it in a paper bag and clip it to the fan and let it cold dry into herbal hay and grass hay! When I come out of the little room with the fan they week very loud because they know that's where mamas hey comes from.. I saw horsetail for the first time today, and I was talking about making tea with it for my hair skin and nails. And here you are showing me something I should remember. Thank you very much for your video and I must go over picking tomorrow because I asked 3 people if I could come up by their yard to get the weeds AKA medicine and herbs. And they assured me that nobody has sprayed yet this year so I'm going to cross my fingers. What I will do is pick it all. Then I will watch the trail for the next 4 days and see how things turned out. That way I will know for sure that nothing was sprayed. Wish me the energy to get there I have a lot to do tomorrow. But I feel like if I wait the herbs will get too far along. And I'm afraid that I won't beat the sprayers. I can't believe I still have to mention that we spray things in the US.

Terri, thank you for another useful recipe.

This is great information to have Terri! Thank you!☀️

Thankyou Terri. Iv not actually seen any horsetail down here in Cornwall, but i sahll certainly keep an eye out for some now iv seen this. Our family do alot of natural teeth healing and homemade cleansers etc,so i found this very interesting. Sending blessings x

Thank you again, and again for your precious healthy ideas . I love you 😇😘

I so enjoy your channel. You are so inspiring!

Thank you! 😉🙏❤️✨

Hi I make my own toothpower but will definitely be trying your recipe ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

❤ Lovely! Some friends were asking about horsetail a few back, so I can now share this with them. ❤ I'd heard that the tea silica will combine with a heavy metal in ones body, and thus aid in removing it on out of the body.

Thank you so much. I've been looking forward to a toothpaste recipe. Will definitely try this out.

Thank you so much. I have dried a ton of horse tail and I can’t wait to use it! I use it for tea and now I will be trying the horse tail for the teeth!

Hello beautiful. I made my own toothpaste, I didn’t use the horsetail , I haven’t seen it here , it might be & I just haven’t found it yet . Have a blessed day ♥️

Simple lovely ways, are so refreshing to see! Thank you for the inspiration and information!

Brilliant, I will be trying this recipe! and I love that you have a Kelly Kettle, I have the small and mid size ones - a fantastic invention for outdoors folk ❤

Thankyou for all the information on Horsetail. Have a nice week.

Interesting. Thank you for the video!

She's so attractive to me. I love a woman who knows her way around her health ❤ amazing information 👏

I will try it for sure! Still using the homemade liquid laundry soap too! Made 1 yr's supply!! 🌸🌺🌻🌼🦋

Hi Teri, Horse Tail. That reminds me of a story my mother and aunt shared with me about their mother and her sisters (Irish lasses). They told my mother and aunt when they were little girls (1930' that if you put a hair from a horses tail into a clear glass jar full of water that within a week it would turn into a snake. Well, being curious and inquisitive little girls they were, they went to the barn, found a horse tail hair and proceeded with this fantastic experiment. They said they checked every day to see what kind of a snake this horses tail would produce. I'm sure you know how this story will end. Yes, after two weeks they realized they had been scammed. OR, did my grandmother and her sisters really believed this? My question to you is, is this an Irish trick adults play on kids or do the old-timers believe this lore? We all got a good laugh anyway it turns. From the Great Pacific North West of the U. S. A.

From Venice with love: ThankYou💜

Your recipes are brilliant. I just made my second batch today. Thank you for your insight and resources. Blessings to you from the Highlands.

Thanks for this, happy May Day!

lovely recipe, avoid using horsetail if you are a smoker, as it interacts with nicotine, avoid if pregnant and breastfeeding, people with low thiamine levels (alcoholics) , can lead to lowering of Vit B1, for outward use, it works wonderful as a balm to help heal skin and for those with joint problems, soaked in oil it is wonderful for hair

I love a diy herbal toothpaste but couldn't cope with the coconut oil so I made a powder toothpaste without it, it works great for me, I'll definitely add horsetail to the next batch.

❤ there's actually two varieties of what she has here is meadow horse tail there's also a pond loving horse tail that's used to make fermented teas that also has extreme cleaning properties when you ferment it

That was so cool

I'm going to try this recipe. I make it with diatomaceous earth, coconut oil, calcium powder, essential oil (I know some do not want to ingest). Horsetail spray with DMSO from Healing With DMSO book is regrowing hair!! Check it out if you're interested, the book is right up your alley. Also from the information is that adding DMSO to face cream recipes increases the effects of the ingredients.

Hello! Thanks so much for this recipe. I always look forward to your videos. Could you use dried, crushed peppermint leaves rather than the peppermint oil? I hope you have a lovely week.

Great video!

They have silicone soft Tony bottle type containers if you want to squeeze out this paste which I use. This way your mot dipping into a jar.

Fabulous and so inspiring. XXX

Thank-you! BLESSINGS❕💚

I’m always looking for useful ways to use the numerous “weeds” on my property so really appreciate this. We have the reed variety of horsetail but I imagine the therapeutic benefits of all types are similar. My horses eat it while grazing and I’m wondering if it has to do with their need for selenium as the soil in this part of Oregon is deficient in that vital mineral. Thank you for your much appreciated videos!

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀 Therese in California Kool I hv ingredients Why do u not use essential oils internally. Many dont believe in that I have.... U make my day ! Do you know how wonderful And healing You are. Give husband A big thumbs up on his most sweet filming!!! Warmly Lotsa hugs 🌹🌹🌹🍀🌹🌹🌹🐞🌹🌹

Such a beautiful cat love your video's I liked and shared on my FB because I care about my youtube family.

I don't know how anyone can consider this plant a weed. It has such a beautiful, ancient, architectural appearance. Maybe I think that way because I'm so used to seeing it in the background of illustrations of dinosaurs, where it looks lovely and interesting.

Thank you so much for all your videos they really take me away to another place, I just love them!! Just wondering if I could substitute the horse tail with bamboo leaves? ( I know they are also full of silica plus I have an abundance of them , but dont have horse tail.) Also just because I have it on hand, could I substitute charcoal power for bentinite clay?
