Milky Oats Tincture
Milky Oats Tincture is the quintessential Nervine. Milky Oats is immediately effective in relieving anxiety, disembodiment, feeling off, and even can help a lot with full blown feelings of panic. It is restorative to the nervous system and is a tonic herb so it can be used long term. This is my absolute favorite herb. I have childhood memories of walking through Oats (Avena Sativa, but I didn’t know that as a child) in the Summertime and popping the Oat flowers to release the milky substance. It is this milky substance, or latex, which has the potency in Milky Oats that differs it from Oat Straw. Both are very relaxing and nourishing, but the latex in Milky Oats is the medicine which can immediately bring relief to an elevated nervous system. I work with this herb daily in times of high stress and always keep a bottle nearby for family and friends when they are in need.
Milky Oats is also nutritive to the bones, teeth and nails. And don’t forget, it’s trophorestorative to the nervous system itself. Meaning: it rebuilds the nervous system after long term burn out, exhaustion and even c-ptsd.
Milky Oats is also healing for the reproductive organs and sexual systems. It is considered to be helpful for lactation and is generally considered to be safe for use during pregnancy.
