Oats

Botanical Name
Avena sativa.

Common name
Wild oats.

Parts used and where grown
The common oat used in herbal supplements and foods is derived from cultivated sources. For some herbal supplements, the green or rapidly dried aerial parts of the plant are harvested just before reaching full flower. Many herbal texts refer to using the fruits (seeds) or green tops. Although some herb texts discuss oat straw, there is little medicinal action in this part of the plant.

Oats have been used in connection with the following conditions
  • High triglycerides
  • Anxiety
  • Eczema
  • Nicotine withdrawal

    Historical or traditional use
    In folk medicine, oats are used by herbalists to treat nervous exhaustion, insomnia, and “weakness of the nerves.” A tea made from oats was thought by herbalists to be useful in rheumatic conditions and to treat water retention. A tincture of the green tops of oats was also used to help with withdrawal from tobacco addiction. Oats were often used in baths to treat insomnia and anxiety as well as a variety of skin conditions, including burns and eczema.

    Are there any side effects or interactions?
    Oats are not associated with any adverse effects. At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with oats.
