Oat Straw (Avena Sativa) is AMAZING. I make an infusion and drink it everyday. Not only is it rich in minerals and b-vitamins, it helps support the nervous system integrity, adrenal glands, supports a healthy sex drive, and is known as the herb of longevity. I take it because it REALLY helps with my anxiety as it's such a calming herb.

To make an infusion:

Get 1oz of dried Oatstraw and put it in a heat safe quart (i use ball or mason) jar, pour boiling water over it to fill and cap it with a lid. It needs to sit 4-8 hours. I make mine at night, then strain the plant matter out and keep it in the infusion in the fridge. You can sweeten it with honey, but I like it straight...drink it throughout the day(it lasts about 48 hours, then the proteins start to break down and it tastes...off) I blend other herbs when I want a soothing tranquility blend.
