Description
Oat Straw (Avena sativa)
Milky oats is one of my favourite herbs to work with for deep nervous system nourishment. However, in order to consume the “milky” oats, you’d need to either decoct (simmer) the fresh and milky harvested oat seeds or make a fresh tincture out of them to consume the milky medicine (which is the deep good stuff). The straw, however, is still great when dried and high in minerals, proteins, and b-vitamins–making it great for nervous system support and supporting anxiety. It is for when your nerves literally feel fried, like anyone who comes near you makes your nervous system tweak out. Great for “vata” constitutions who are of the nervous/anxious types — who forget to nourish themselves throughout the day. It is also very soothing and healing to the tissues, so can help to repair damaged internal tissues and also things like eczema that flares up due to dryness.

BUT careful with patients with Celiac Disease. There can be cross-contamination with gluten containing crops, as well as cross-reaction to a protein in Avena called “avenin” (a protein similar in function to gluten which can activate gluten-reactive T-cells).
