Avena sativa L., Poaceae family, dried flowering tops of #oats. #Oatstraw is, as its name suggests, the above-ground parts of the #oat plant. Oats are one of the plants that humans have eaten since #prehistoric times. Oat straw has been used to support #brain health since the #MiddleAges, and its proponents say it can reduce the risk of #heart #disease, increase #energy, reduce #anxiety and improve #physical and possibly even #sexual performance. I use oatstraw as a key ingredient in my "Happy Tea" as it nourishes #mind, #body and #spirit.

You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids.

While its exact mechanism of action isn't known, oat straw is believed to have several functions. Studies suggest oat straw increases brainwaves called alpha-2 waves, which are more prominent during wakefulness. It may also increase nitric oxide and suppress inflammatory cytokines in artery walls, which can increase blood flow to the brain and help you feel more alert. In fact, one study showed that volunteers who consumed oat straw performed significantly better on cognitive tests.
