So, how does it work? Why is this one of the best teas? Oatstraw, avena sativa, is my favorite of all the calming teas because it is the most approachable, universal, nourishing herb. Rolled oats for breakfast and the dried tops infused in hot water before bed, that is the way to live peacefully. The stem, leaf, and milky tops of this plant are loaded with nutrients that nourish your nervous system — B vitamins, calcium, and magnesium.
Drink a cup every day to strengthen your nerves; think of it like nervous breakdown, road rage, emotional turbulence protection. I notice that I am calmer and react less to stressful situations, not necessarily after one cup, but after drinking this tea for two or three days in a row.
If you are looking for a natural aid to help you cope with stress, oatstraw is a great place to start. Unlike other calming herbal teas, this one has a great taste; soft, simple, earthy, with grassy and nutty tones. It works well with honey or milk and blends well with other calming herbs like lavender and chamomile. Oatstraw tea is also safe. I understand not everyone is comfortable with some of the stronger sedative herbs. Avena sativa is simply calming and nourishing — I give it to my kids all the time! As an added bonus, you will be helping your bones, hair, and skin with the nutritional boost (especially the calcium for bones and silicon for hair and skin). Drinking oatstraw is one of those win all around things in life.
