Organic Oatstraw, Green Tops
Ask a QuestionOrganic Oatstraw – Avena sativa Herb Tops
Organic Oatstraw is the dried green herb of Avena sativa, the same plant that produces familiar oat grain. Sourced from the USA and cut and sifted for easy preparation, oatstraw has a long history in Western herbalism as a gentle nutritive tonic and traditional nervous-system herb.
Oatstraw is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as a nutritive tonic to support the nervous system, particularly during periods of stress and fatigue, and to promote relaxation and general well-being.
A Traditional Nutritive Herb
Unlike oat grain, which is harvested for food, oatstraw is prepared from the green aerial portions of the oat plant. It naturally contains a variety of plant constituents and minerals and has traditionally been incorporated into nourishing herbal infusions.
Its mild character also makes oatstraw especially well suited to herbal blends. It pairs beautifully with herbs such as nettle leaf, raspberry leaf, lemon balm, chamomile and rose.
Flavour & Infusion
Oatstraw has a mild, grassy and slightly sweet flavour without the pronounced bitterness found in many traditional herbs. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a gentle base for loose herbal tea blends.
