It helps relieve stress and calm the nervous system during pregnancy and while nursing because it has such limited side effects. It can also be especially helpful when treating depression. The steroidal saponins in Oat Straw nourish the pancreas and liver, improving digestion and stabilizing moods. Oat straw is best known for its ability to enhance libido for both men and women. Directions 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. After straining, a cup or more is consumed, and the remainder chilled to slow spoilage. Drinking 2-4 cups a day is usual. Since the minerals and other phytochemicals in nourishing herbs are made more accessible by drying, dried herbs are considered best for infusions. Origin United States Show more
