St. Johns Wort and Milky Oat Tops

For those with mild Tourette's, anxiety, neurological disorders, mild depression, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, SAD this tincture is for you.

I started taking this about 3 years ago for the MS to get the spasms, vibrations, and tingling under control. I noticed a difference within weeks of taking it at high doses but it took a little while (about 8 months) before it calmed my nervous system because I was a mess neurologically. I still take it everyday. On goods days not so much and on bad days I take a little more.
I started giving it to my son with mild Tourette's and noticed that his ticks decrease to the point you could hardly notice them. Of all the herbs I have given him over the years for this~ the combination of St. John's wort and milky oat tops seemed to do the trick and work better than anything. This may or may not be the same results you see as everyone is different and herbs work differently on each person. But these are just some example of positive result.

Made with organic gluten free alcohol, our own organically grown St. Johns wort, and our own organic locally grown milky oat tops.

Milky Oats (Avena Sativa) is an herb that I have personally used for many years. It is a nervine trophorestorative herb which means that it actual helps to feed and repair the nervous system. It is a member of the grass family and considered highly nutritive as it is rich in minerals and vitamins like calcium, silica, and magnesium. The milky oat tops are harvested when the grain has reached its milky stage (also called the green stage). You can tell this when you squeeze the green seed, and a little white sap comes out. It is at this point that you would harvest the seed heads. You have a very short window as this stage usually only last about a week. Afterwards the seed becomes hard and golden. The oats are now ripe and then get harvested for what people use and know as oatmeal. You can also save the seeds to reseed as the plant is an annual and needs to be replanted each year. The oatstraw is when the stem of the oat plant is harvested during the milky oat stage, and it is still green. This gets used in a lot of teas as it has a high mineral content. There aren’t any sustainability issues with oats, a lot of farmers use them as a cover crop.

Milky Oats are used for nervous system exhaustion. Living in a world with burnout, stress, less sleep, being overworked, dealing with sickness, and not taking care of ourselves. When you wake up in the morning and don’t feel rested, when your body feels heavy and you have low energy and weakness, when you feel the gas tank is empty, you can’t concentrate or focus. Maybe you have been traveling and are dealing with jetlag and aren’t bouncing back to your regular self. Milky oats may be just the thing you need. Some classify it as an adaptogen, but it isn’t a true adaptogen as it doesn’t give energy or stimulate which is what adaptogens do. It works by nourishing our system instead of depleting it further.

I started using milky oats many years ago because of their ability to improve nerve function. I was looking to sooth an overactive nervous system from a severe Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation. I used it primarily to help lessen the disease symptoms of numbness, tingling, vibration, and muscle weakness throughout the body. I found it extremely helpful and still use it to this day however I use it now on an as needed basis.

Milky oats can also be used for addiction and help decrease the withdrawal effects especially from nervous system stimulants like cocaine and coffee. As Sajah Popham points out that an herb will not replace willpower, however. It can be used to help with headaches, especially that of a caffeine withdrawal headache. Also, can be used for menstrual and PMS headaches. Milky oats can be used as a sexual tonic for middle aged men with impotency problems and overall libido. Does so by nourishing the nerves and the demulcent properties help to replenish a male’s reproductive system. All these things that milky oats are helpful for comes back to nourishing and supporting the nervous system.

This is a dietary supplement.

For herbal tinctures that are alcohol based you can place a small amount in a cup and put a small amount of boiling water over it, the alcohol with then evaporate leaving you with the healing properties of the tincture still just minus the alcohol.

I recommend that with all the herbal tinctures you start of small in dosing and work your way up to recommended dosage. Some people only need a small amount to notice a difference.
