ALL FOR THE OATS!!!


Avena Sativa (Oatstraw)


There are many different things we can say about oats....soothing, fulfilling, comforting, calming. Well, all these apply to making a tea from Oatstraw herb. This herb has a dynamic profile in the herbal community. Known for it's cooling, moistening qualities Oatstraw will help with calming your inner being. According to Braun and Cohen (2015) oats are considered a nervous system nutritive, or nervine tonic, which ultimately helps repair the nervous system.


Some of the other actions of Oatstraw include:

- antidepressant

-anti-inflammatory

-anti-oxident

-vulnerary: can be used topically to heal wounds


So I enjoyed this herb as an overnight infusion. I let it sit for 8-10 hours in the hot water and it pulled the beneficial qualities out of the leaves/stems. The longer you steep it, the more minerals are released. That means NUTRITION baby!!!


New product listed in the shop today! Try it out and see what your inner self is whispering to you!


For me this herb provided a nice calming that carried throughout the whole day. I was constantly analyzing MY emotions and making firm decisions to LET STUFF GO!!! Many times we struggle with that one aspect of daily life. This herb helped with that. I was very much aware of when I was getting worked up and would internally figure out "why" and "who" and then would dive right into "how do I eliminate this feeling". All very good questions and all that should be asked regularly.


So hop over to the shop and check out the listing. Two sizes available-15 count/Quart size. You wont be sorry with either! Get yours today!
