The
“Aveeno” brand of
soaps and personal
hygiene products are
based upon the herb
oat straw. I’m
sure many of us have
bathed in this herb
for relief of
itchiness from
chicken pox or
hives. Oat
straw is also a
useful herb for
internal consumption
as well.
It is a tonic herb,
an herb that
optimizes and
restores the body’s
functioning. |
It is especially
useful for the
nervous system by
helping to alleviate
depression and
stress. Oat
straw is recommended
by natural health
practitioners for
insomnia,
depression, anxiety,
restlessness and
skin disorders,
especially those
that cause itching.
Dried oat straw is
commonly made into a
tea. It can also be
purchased in
capsules or as a
tincture. Oat straw
may be found in
formulas for
relaxing the mind
and body and aiding
sleep. It works
well in combination
with other relaxing
herbs. Oat straw
can also be placed
into a bath (about
100g) for relieving
skin irritation. It
can also be found in
topical preparations
for decreasing skin
itchiness. It
is also very
alkalizing and can
help reduce overall
acidity in the body.
Oat straw may
increase the effect
of sedatives. It
may not be suitable
for individuals who
are hypersensitive
to nicotine. |
