Oat Straw: A Wholesome, Nutritious Supplement for Reducing Anxiety
Oat Straw is a wholesome and hearty way of reducing anxiety and putting you at ease.
You’ve probably had oats a million times before. The mature seeds of the Oat plant (Avena sativa L.) are in seemingly every supermarket in the world—and almost as many breakfast bowls. Those seeds are what we mean when we talk about “oats.”
When used as a supplement to treat anxiety, Oat Straw is made from the unripened top of the plant rather than the ripe seeds. Because it’s unripened, the supplement form is sometimes known as “green oat” or “wild oat.” In the case of Oat Straw extract, people use the unripened parts of the plant to produce a tincture, a powder, or a capsule. It is also sometimes used to make a delicious tea.
Oat straw has a long history of being used as an anxiety treatment. We have records of its use as a “happiness herb” in Germany going back centuries. It’s an important cure for anxiety in Traditional Chinese Medicine. More recently, in 1987, the German government’s Commission E, a group that investigated the safety of herbs and supplements, judged Oat Straw to be an effective and powerful treatment for anxiety.
