Take a soothing and nourishing oatstraw herbal tea break for mild anxiety
Oats have always had a reputation as a wholesome, healthy food. The grain is a rich source of complex sugars used by the body for fuel, some of which are also used medically for their immune system stimulation. The dose of B vitamins from this herb helps fight stress too. The humble oat epitomizes the concept of food as your best medicine.
It is said that horses that eat wild oats are more likely to mate. Old sayings like "feeling his oats" or "sowing wild oats", often contain clues to older beliefs and customs that still hold true today. In the 1800s doctors advocated oat straw, (made from young oat stalks and unripe grain), as a nerve tonic.
Eat oats as often as you can, however, be aware that the prepackaged, instant oatmeal mixes sold today have been stripped of the nutrient value and are filled with refined sugars. For oatstraw tea, it is best to ensure that it is organically grown. In selecting the dried herb for tea, choose seeds that are green to green -yellow, seeds are stronger medicinally than the stems
