Nourishing dried oatstraw (Avena sativa), milky-green and gentle.
Traditionally used in herbalism: Harvested from green, milky oats, this is one of herbalism's classic nervine tonics — traditionally taken as a long infusion to nourish frayed nerves, support steady energy, and restore those feeling depleted. Rich in minerals, it was a staple rebuilding tonic.
A little lore: Tied to grounding, abundance, and prosperity — the steady, nourishing energy of the harvest.
Close to home: Yes — oats are a familiar Ontario field crop; the green 'straw' is harvested before the grain ripens.
In your cup & cauldron: Best as an overnight long-infusion tea; lovely blended with nettle or lemon balm.
