When Why & How to Sow Your Oats
Milky Oat Seed
(Avena Sativa)
From the same plant we get oatmeal from for our
breakfast and oats for the horses, Milky Oat seed is harvested for its vast of
array of health benefits...
"...due to their
rich content of several essential nutrients. In a 100 gram
serving, oats provide 389 calories and are an excellent source (20% or more of the Daily Value,
DV) of protein
(34% DV), dietary fiber (44% DV), several B vitamins
and numerous dietary minerals, especially manganese
(233% DV). Oats are 66% carbohydrates,
including 11% dietary fiber and 4% beta-glucans,
7% fat
and 17% protein. The established
property of their cholesterol-lowering effects
has led to acceptance of oats as a health food.”

“Milky”
refers to the white liquid that can be squeezed from the oat seed during the
milk stage – a few weeks before the typical harvest for dry oats. This milky sap contains nutrients that help nourish
and feed the nerves, making Milky Oat a superb tonic for the nervous
system. To fully benefit the nervous
system restorative properties, the Milky Oat seeds must be processed fresh, as
some of the compounds are lost when dried.

Dry oat
straw (seeds plus part of the stalk) contains many nutritive minerals that also
help support the nervous system. Oat
straw combines well wirth other relaxing nerve tonics to make an excellent “support”
tea.
Milky Oat
seed may be beneficial to anyone suffering from stress, workaholics and others
who find it difficult to relax. It may
also be helpful as part of a doctor-prescribed formula to reduce anxiety,
agitation and cravings in people withdrawing from addictive substances.
And of
course we are all familiar with the term “sowing ones oats”, but were you aware
it’s due to another benefit of Milky Oat seed?
“Avena sativa is quickly becoming a popular natural alternative to
pharmaceutical “sexual enhancers” without the dangerous side effects. It is
used to stimulate both men and women quickly and effectively. It is often
described as the "Natural Viagra"! Its stimulating effects are well
known in the animal world, especially with horses where it is widely known that
if you feed them oats their behavior will be wild and energetic!” (http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-avena-sativa)
