Oat straw comes from the same plant as the rolled oats in your cereal.
Oatmeal, or oat seed, has been traditionally considered a nutritive and demulcent, once prescribed for habitual constipation. It was served to convalescing patients as gruel. Oats are used to treat nervous exhaustion, insomnia, anxiety and "weakness of the nerves". A tea made from oats was thought to be useful in rheumatic conditions and to treat water retention. When used in baths, it was good for skin disorders to reduce inflammation and iching, such as eczema. Also, the green tops of oats were used to help with the withdrawal of alcohol and nicotine addiction, although originally it was used for the withdrawal of morphine. Oat straw, primarily in the form of a tincture or tea from the green tops, is valuable as a diuretic. It is said to lower uric acid levels in the blood. It has also been known to increase libido.
