Milky Oat Tops + Oats

February 12, 2021

Milky Oat Tops + Oats
MILKY OAT TOPS & OATS
Avena  sativa

Family:  Poaceae

Part used:  Fresh Milky Tops (Immature grain)

Energetics:  Sweet,  moist

Actions:  Antispasmodic, anxiolytic, demulcent, nervine, nervous system trophorestoritive, nootropic, nutritive

Oats are often used in farming as a cover crop and it’s one we use on the farm regularly. For medicinal purposes, we harvest the  oat  tops when they’re  in the  milky state.  You squeeze  the oat tops and a thick milky substance comes out. This is the good stuff. If  left alone, the seed would continue to grow into an oat groat, where it would be hulled and either kept whole or processed into oats. Oats are an incredible food for our nervous and  cardiovascular  systems.  Oats  are  high  in  betaglucan,  which  helps  lower  cholesterol  and  high  blood pressure,  and  it  is  high  in  antioxidants  and  is  antiinflammatory.  I  like  to  use  milky  oats  to  help  reduce  stress, anxiety  and  to  help  support  symptoms  of  withdrawl  from certain  drugs  and  cigarettes.  It's  also  a  great  herb  for  firing up  the  libido!

Contraindications:  None known.

Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha

March 10, 2021

Ashwagandha, native to India, grows on our farm in Maine as an annual. I harvest the roots every fall to make into tinctures and dry for teas, soup stocks and powder. Ashwagandha is a wonderful adaptogen that can be used as a daily tonic. It is part of the nightshade family, so if you have allergies you may want to avoid this herb. Otherwise, it’s a wonderfully rejuvenating and nourishing herb that I like to use as a brain tonic and to clear up brain fog and poor memory. It helps induce sleep, relieves anxiety and stress and is great for supporting the reproductive system. Ashwagandha is a great herb for rebuilding vitality and overall strength in the body.

Astragalus
Astragalus

March 10, 2021

Astragalus,  part  of  the  pea  family,  is  a  perennial  that  we  grow here  on  the  farm.  We  harvest  the  roots  in  its  third  year  to make  into  tincture  or  dry  for  teas,  soup  stocks,  syrups  and elixirs.  Astragalus  is  a  great  herb  to  use  when  building  back strength  and  vitality.  I  like  to  use  it  as  immune  support to help  prevent  colds  and  flu  and  help  with  allergies.   Astragalus  is  a  rejuvenative  herb  for  when  you  are  depleted and  weak,  helping  restore  vitality  and  energy.  Helps  improve digestion,  nutrient  absorption  and  cardiovascular  function. This  is  a  great  front-line  herb  for  immune  support  and preventive care.

Blue Vervain
Blue Vervain

March 09, 2021

Blue vervain is a great herb  to add to any garden. When we moved  to  the  farm,  I  found  a  couple  of  plants  growing  wild along  the  stream.  I  loved  that  so  much.  I  like  to  use  blue vervain  for  nervous  system  issues  such  as  anxiety,  especially associated  with  PMS  and  menopause  and  it  can  also  be used  for  spasms  and  tics.  As  a  diaphoretic,  it’s  been  used for  relieving  fevers  and  other  flu  symptoms,  such  as  aching muscles.
