Rich in silica, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, and unique avenacosides, oat straw feeds and restores the nervous system at a structural level, making it the herb of choice for nervous exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. It has also long been regarded as a gentle libido tonic, referenced in the idiom ‘sowing one’s wild oats’ with good botanical reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNervous system restoration · Anxiety \u0026amp; stress · Nervous exhaustion \u0026amp; burnout · Libido support · Mineral replenishment (silica, calcium, magnesium) · Cognitive function\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteep 1–2 tsp dried oat straw in 250ml hot water for 10–15 mins (or cold infuse overnight for maximum mineral extraction).
