{"product_id":"polykompo-matso","title":"Field horsetail – Bundle – Equisetum arvense","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorsetail – Bunch (\u003cstrong\u003eEquisetum arvense\u003c\/strong\u003e) consists of whole dried aerial parts bundled together, with a dry, grassy and slightly earthy character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented based on its actual form, botanical identity and appropriate handling. Traditional references to a plant provide historical context and are not, in themselves, evidence of therapeutic efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHorsetail – Bunch – identity and form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical name \u003cem\u003eEquisetum arvense\u003c\/em\u003e helps avoid confusion with related plants or similar common names. The product consists of whole dried aerial parts in a bunch. We do not assume a specific country of origin, variety or concentration of natural compounds unless these are documented for the batch. Natural drying changes the texture and often the color of the plant material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharacter and practical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts profile is dry, grassy and slightly earthy. \u003cem\u003eEquisetum arvense\u003c\/em\u003e has a distinctive jointed structure and differs from other plants that may locally be called horsetail. It is not presented as a remedy for fluid retention or kidney and urinary problems. Form matters: powder, whole leaf, root and bunch do not behave in the same way. Where the product has an approved dietary use, proportions should be adjusted to its specific form and the intensity of the batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy different forms are not interchangeable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dried plant is not automatically equivalent to an essential oil, tincture, capsule or standardized extract. The concentration of natural compounds can vary considerably, and the precautions change accordingly. For this reason, we do not transfer dosages or instructions from one form to another. The label and the actual identity of the batch always take precedence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality and proper handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall differences in color, size, cut and aroma intensity are normal. Harvesting, drying and storage affect the final appearance. Use a clean, dry utensil, reseal the package immediately and do not put wet material back inside. If transferring it to a jar, keep the original label so the batch identity is not lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalogue\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ekoyizeto-polykompi\"\u003eHorsetail – Field Horsetail\u003c\/a\u003e. This link can help you compare forms or related raw materials, but it does not mean the products are interchangeable. The species, plant part used, cut and degree of concentration can all affect both practical use and the precautions required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar secret\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen opening a new batch, compare its aroma and appearance with the previous one without expecting industrial uniformity. Note the opening date, do not mix old leftovers with new product and keep the name on the container. This simple practice can greatly improve the organization of a large herb collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, steam and strong odors. Prolonged unsupervised use is not recommended. If you have kidney or heart disease, are on fluid restrictions or taking diuretics, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek professional advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more flavors, aromas and stories from around the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow Spices Bazaar on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/www.SpicesBazaar.gr\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Aiodigoseyexias\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e for new arrivals, recommendations and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":54895943745863,"sku":"SB-HER-53503-050","price":3.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":54895943778631,"sku":"SB-HER-53503-100","price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":54895943811399,"sku":"SB-HER-53503-500","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 g","offer_id":54895943844167,"sku":"SB-HER-53503-1K","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/polykompo-matso","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
