PHYTOTHERAPY
PHYTOTHERAPY
Oat Straw (Avena sativa) — aerial parts (herba) & seed/fruit (fructus)
The aerial parts (commonly called “oat straw”) and the seed/fruit of Avena sativa contain a variety of phytochemicals including mucilage-rich polysaccharides, beta-glucans, flavonoids, saponins, and minerals such as silicon and calcium. These constituents support traditional use of oat straw as a nervine tonic and nutritive herb in European phytotherapy. It has historically been used for mild mental stress, sleep support, and as a general restorative. According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), preparations of oat herb (Avenae herba) are authorised on the basis of traditional use for relief of “mild symptoms of mental stress and to aid sleep” in adults and adolescents over 12 years¹. Meanwhile, the seed/fruit (Avenae fructus) is covered by a separate EMA monograph that supports traditional use for minor skin inflammation (e.g., sunburn) and as an aid for healing minor wounds².
