Oatstraw (Avena sativa), a cherished herb among herbalists, has been used for centuries for its gentle, nourishing properties. While the oat grain is widely recognized as a staple food, the entire plant—including its young seeds and stems—offers remarkable wellness benefits. Our organic oatstraw powder is finely milled from carefully cultivated plants, making it an excellent addition to teas, tinctures, encapsulations, and body care formulations.
Oats have a long history of cultivation, dating back over 3,000 years to the Fertile Crescent. Over time, this resilient grass spread throughout Europe, thriving in cooler, wetter climates. By the Middle Ages, oatstraw had gained recognition in traditional European herbalism, where it was valued for promoting vitality and mental clarity. Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th-century herbalist, even considered oats one of her favorite “happiness” herbs.
Oatstraw is a deeply nutritive herb, rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and essential vitamins. Known as a supportive nervine, it has traditionally been used to help restore balance in those experiencing fatigue or burnout. It is often steeped as a soothing tea or incorporated into wellness formulas for long-term support.
