Oatstraw
2 oz.
Oatstraw is the green, unripe stems of the oat plant. It's a nutrient-rich herb that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its various health benefits. Here are some potential benefits of oatstraw:
Nervous system support: Oatstraw is believed to have a calming effect on the nervous system, which may help reduce stress and anxiety. It contains compounds that are thought to support healthy neurotransmitter function.
Cognitive function: Some studies suggest that oatstraw may have cognitive-enhancing effects, including improving memory and concentration. These effects may be attributed to its ability to increase blood flow to the brain and support brain health.
Physical energy: Oatstraw is rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help support overall energy levels and vitality. It is often used as a tonic to combat fatigue and improve stamina.
Bone health: Oatstraw contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Regular consumption of oat straw may help prevent bone-related disorders such as osteoporosis.
Directions: add one teaspoon of oatstraw to hot water. Steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and enjoy.
*Note- the longer you steep, the more nutrient dense your tea will be.
FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
