oatstraw-infusion

Susun Weed makes oatstraw nourishing herbal infusion. Oatstraw (Avena sativa) reduces high cholesterol, increases libido, and strengthens the nerves. A cup of oatstraw infusion contains more than 300 milligrams of calcium plus generous amounts of many other minerals. Its steroidal saponins nourish the pancreas and liver, improving digestion and stabilizing moods.

Oatstraw is best known however for its ability to enhance libido and mellow the mood. Do be careful whom you share it with, or you may find yourself sowing some wild oats. In Auryuvedic medicine, oatstraw is considered the finest of all longevity tonics.

An infusion is a large amount of herb brewed for a long time. Typically, one ounce by weight (about a cup by volume) of dried herb is placed in a quart jar which is then filled to the top with boiling water, tightly lidded and allowed to steep for 4-10 hours. http://nourishingherbalinfusions.com

[TheCerberusbindweed]

I just bought myself 1kg of all the herbs you listed here for making infusions.

I would like to know, should I stick to drinking 1 type of infusion a day and the next day a different infusion or should I stick to drinking one type of infusion for a while so my body gets used to its healing benefits before moving to another?

[wisewomantradition]

@TheCerberusbindweed - yes, best to stick with one infusion and then rotate from day to day.

[andrewwilliams76]

I like all the infusions and drink them regularly, but oatstraw and nettle are my favourites. I drink a pint of ice cold oatstraw infusion every night before I go to bed.

The taste of oatstraw reminds me of honey and the taste of nettle reminds me of milk... Maybe it's just me :-)

[wisewomantradition]

@andrewwilliams76 - both oatstraw and nettle have as much or more calcium as milk and in a blind taste test certainly nettle and milk are comparable...

[emilysuekirk]

Is oatstraw safe for pregnancy? All of the benefits sound great, would I be able to use it like I would red raspberry leaf infusions?

[wisewomantradition]

@emilysuekirk - oatstraw is safe for everyone - to be considered as food.

[SileIndigo]

@wisewomantradition --I think nettle infusion tastes like milk, too! Green milk, YUM! :D

[2reapers]

is there any way to use powdered oatstraw?

[easysimple101112]

You looks so great, thanks for the info for all fools around. haha. :) In swissland they even use it to replace vigro? haha, if those guys know this... will be funny. And it has absolute no side effect like it too. :) Happy happy. :) We also can eat more oats soups selling in stores if can not get raw herbs too. It also good for our colon health.:) Because the rough fiberic in. :) But I think 1 ounce is looks too much .

I've been drinking 1-2 cups of oatstraw tea (oatstraw tops) a day for a while now with some wild oats thrown in... so the phytoestrogens in oatstraw aren't gonna have a negative effect on my body as a 23 yr old male, right??

[earthymamas]

Is it preferable to use the stems, tops or both? I eat steel-cut oats regularly without any issue but when I drank the infusion it gave me a slight itchiness in my throat. Have you ever heard of this reaction before... is it normal?
