The four month wait was worth it for this year’s Milky Oat Harvest. Sown in June and harvested October, these milky fresh oats in glycerine and now strained, bottled and ready for post + pick up for pre orders!

If you didn’t get a chance to preorder, you can still grab a bottle on my website or over at next week.

Oat medicine harvested at the ‘milky’ stage is a moistening, sweet nutritional herb, considered a ‘tonic’ for the nervous system.

This medicine taken in small regular doses may support a tired nervous systems, periods of stress, melancholy, difficulty sleeping, occipital headache, nervous digestion, menstrual headache, addiction recovery, recovery from illness, and concentration and focus.

This glycerite tastes sweet and grassy (surprise) with a light and pleasant texture.

Safe for kids, alcohol and sugar free. Not recommended for coeliac or strong gluten intolerance due to a gluten fraction present in oat.

V chuffed v grateful v happy to have the opportunity to share herbs with y’all.

The Practical Home Herbalism class was so fun.

🌱 We met 5 medicinal plants in the garden and talked propagating, growing and caring for their growth.
🫚We sowed marshmallow seed to take home. Inside we explored the herbal actions of the root in water and glycerine and made a herbal glycerite!
🍵We explored each of the five plants we met outside as either a fresh or dried herbal infusions and tasted a range of blends for various needs to support our nervous system, digestion, lungs and immune system.
🌼 We prepared a herbal wound heal salve with Calendula, Chickweed & Yarrow.

I said this would be the last but every time I do one I immediately want to do it all over!

Stay tuned and I’ll put a new date (1 last one for the year) up soon. Pop a comment if you’re keen to come along.
