Could it be possible for the humble oat plant to have a transformational impact on your sexual, sensual and hormonal health?

The answer is a resounding YES.

Between the oats you eat for breakfast, the oatstraw you drink in nourishing infusions, and the milky oats extract from the unripe seed heads that contain a luscious nourishing "milky sap" that is a true nervous system tonic, the unassuming oat plant is actually a bit of a wonder. 

It's essentially a "food for your nervous system," especially when you're burnt out, frazzled, or just plain depleted. Which is, of course, not uncommon in this world that asks so much of us all the time.

And it's partly because of the deep nervous system restoration that milky oats is perfectly suited to supporting your arousal, your libido, your cycle health and more. 

When we think about sex, we're unlikely to think of oatmeal. But let me tell you, there's a reason to, and I share all about it in this week's episode. 

Listen to the episode to learn:

• the different medicinal actions between the oats you eat, oatstraw and milky oats (hint: they are each completely different)
• why I now consider oats to be an ESSENTIAL herb for hormonal health
• actions and traditional uses of the oat plant in all its forms
• ways to work with oats to nourish your sensual, sexual + hormonal health
• some interesting scientific research both validating traditional uses of oats and adding some new insights
• how to tell when milky oats are ripe and why I recommend growing them
