milky oat tincture

Avena sativa

1:2 @75% fresh oat tops in the milky stage in organic cane alcohol 

This ratio is my absolute favorite and I feel captures the potency of the latex milkiness without diluting it's power with either too much alcohol or water.

Avena sativa is an herb for deep work. Taken over time, they comfort frazzled nerves and are a perfect companion for those who struggle with indecision and addiction.  I feel they help us uncover the hidden truths we may be running from. They are a very gentle plant, invoking an ease to life, and are one of the most excellent ways to support yourself in stressful times.

Milky oats go in just about every formula I make. I love their synergistic energy. I feel them bringing me back together, like they bring all the herbs in the formula together. They are perfect solo or in tea + tincture blends, baths and/or eating oatmeal throughout the day. 

Avena sativa is here for you. You can do this work. You’re on your way back home.
