Milky Oats are a supreme tonic for the nervous system. As a nervine trophorestorative, they support healthy nervous system functioning and help to repair & rebuild the myelin sheath surrounding the nerves. Milky Oats help us to feel resilient, nourished, and grounded. They make an excellent extract to take regularly for health and well-being, and are a great addition to many herbal formulas.
Milky Oats are harvested when the unripe seed head is in its 'milk stage' and exudes a white creamy liquid. This milky substance is full of nutrients, vitamins, & minerals to restore and revitalize the body for optimal functioning. A high-proof alcohol extraction (approximately 70% or 150-proof) is best to extract the alkaloids in the fresh milky oat, though a fresh herb tincture at any strength of alcohol, vinegar extraction, and a tea of the dried oat top also yield great benefits.
Milky Oats are a gentle but effective medicinal plant. When taking Milky Oats, many people report feeling a more centered sense of calm, less reactivity to everyday stressors, and a general feeling of balance and bliss. They are especially indicated if you experience any of the following:
- chronic stress
- exhaustion, burnout, fatigue
- sensitivity to stimulus (light, sounds, etc)
- feeling 'at the end of your rope'
- emotional lability
Milky Oats are appropriate for most people, but consult with your trusted healthcare provider if you have concerns. These oats have never come into contact with gluten and are gluten-free, though if you cannot tolerate gluten-free oats you may share a reaction to raw milky oats.
