Polykombi

Polykombi or kontylohorto or ekouizeto (Equisetum sp.) is a perennial plant, growing on moist soils, along the streams. It is considered a descendant of species that grew during the geological period of Carbon and Permian period. For the reasons above it is an important species for the study of plant evolution. Polykobi is considered to be rich in metal. Due to its high content of silicon, products made from polykombi are used for plant protection and for the treatment of fungal infections and insects in organic farming. It can also enrich the fertilizer. The polykombi is used as a medicine plant from ancient times. Nowadays, it is marketed as a powerful diuretic herb, effective in treating rheumatic diseases, wounds and skin problems.
