Avena sativa
plant overview
soothing and nutritious
Oatstraw is a term that collectively represents the stems, flowers and seeds
of Avena sativa, the common oat plant and the same grain most people are
familiar with as a hot breakfast cereal. Because the “straw” is harvested
while the grain is still immature, oatstraw is sometimes referred to as
milky oats. Oatstraw has a lot going for it in terms of nutritional value. A
mere cup of oatstraw infusion (strong tea) is an abundant source of protein,
silica, B vitamins and a whopping 300 milligrams of calcium. The herb is
also tinctured. Powdered oatstraw is used to make various skin care
preparations to ease dry, itchy skin. It is also added to herbal bath bags
or even directly into the bath water.
