8. Horsetail
This herb is quite interesting in the fact that it is the descendant of a plant that is millions of years old. It can be quite odd to think of plants that have been around for so many years and yet they are quite helpful to humans who have been around for a much shorter time frame. It is here where we find just one of the many wonders of nature. With this in mind, horsetail is a very old remedy for fluid retention. People have been using it for longer than we can trace and yet scientists have only just started testing its validity.
It is worth noting that these tests have been rather limiting, but even so, their results have been encouraging. There is evidence to suggest that not only is horsetail effective in reducing fluid retention, but it may also even be as effective as other synthetic products that are on the market. It has also been found that not only does horsetail reduce fluid retention, but it does so without upsetting a person’s electrolyte balance, which is a large concern when it comes to an increase in fluid output.
