More ...
Avena sativa, or common oats, has been cultivated for over 5,000 years and thrives in cooler, damp climates. When harvested at the milky stage(a brief window when the seed releases a white sap), the fresh “milky oats” are prized for tinctures, while the stems - known as oatstraw - a re dried for soothing teas and infusions.
Rich in B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, silica, and trace minerals, oats are considered a deeply nourishing herb. Both milky oats and oatstraw help rebuild and restore tissues, calm frazzled nerves, and support recovery from stress, illness, or emotional strain. Herbalists often recommend milky oats tincture for times of nervous exhaustion, anxiety, or burnout - even to help ease withdrawal from alcohol or drugs.
Oats also play a role in sexual and hormonal health, gently supporting libido, soothing menopausal symptoms, and strengthening bones. They’re linked to cardiovascular health too, helping lower cholesterol, improve circulation, and even ease heart palpitations. Research also highlights oats’ ability to regulate blood sugar, boost immunity(thanks to β-glucan), and enhance focus and mental clarity.
On the outside, oats are famous for their soothing touch on skin - from easing itchiness to calming rashes and dryness. Traditional oat baths and lotions remain go-to remedies for irritated skin, while oat-based shampoos show promise for scalp health.
In short, oats are more than a breakfast grain - they’re a multi-talented ally
for the nervous system, heart, hormones, skin, and beyond, offering steady, grounding nourishment for body and mind.
