Description:
Oats have been used traditionally as a nerve tonic for hundreds of years. It is the seed which is used medicinally as well as for food
How it works:
Fresh oat seed contains high levels of vitamin B, minerals and other nutrients. These are recognised to be important and beneficial for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Oats contain a group of substances which have a calming effect on the nervous system, the most active of which, gramine, has been shown to relax muscles. The balance of constituents present in oat seed probably accounts for the restorative benefits in depression, states of debility and exhaustion — and the traditional use as a nerve tonic.
Some researchers have found that oats can be beneficial for those who are trying to overcome the symptoms of withdrawal from alcohol and drugs.
