Milky oats are one of our most gentle restorative herbs, helping us to prevent and recover from frazzled nerves, nervous exhaustion and emotional meltdown. They are considered a rejuvenative tonic for the entire nervous system. 🌾
Milky oats imparts emotional resiliency, inspiring us to bend gracefully in the face of heavy winds. They can also be used to help leave addictive behaviors and patterns—milky oats is often combined with passionflower and skullcap as a formula for quitting smoking or drinking, etc.
Unlike many other herbs used for nervous system disorders, milky oats typically doesn’t induce sleepiness or fatigue.
Milky oats are the unripe seed heads from the same species of grass that produces the oats we eat as oatmeal.
