Avena Sativa

What is Avena Sativa?

It seems that since we became more comfortable talking about erectile enhancers, we get more of these products in the market. Avena Sativa from wild oats is reported to have been a noticeable sexual stimulant for horses and other animals. This led to it being used in supplements for the same purpose.

Avena sativa is quickly becoming a popular natural alternative to pharmaceutical erection enhancers without the dangerous side effects. Also known as Oats Milky Seed or Wild Oats, Avena Sativa is used to stimulate both men and women quickly and effectively. In men it appears to be effective for treating impotence and premature ejaculation. In women it may increase sexual desire. It also contains compounds which are soothing to the brain and nervous system.

As a food, oats are known to be good for the heart because they keep blood fats under control. They also have other medicinal properties and are used in herbal medicine.

Avena sativa seeds are not only a rich source of carbohydrate and soluble fibre; they also have the highest content of Iron, Zinc and Manganese of any grain. In addition they contain compounds which are both sedative and soothing to the brain and nervous system. It is said to be a good herb as a nerve restorative, it is also said to be an aphrodisiac.

This is one of the reasons why Avena Sativa is used in nearly all breakfast cereals even in small quantities. It has very many health benefits with little or no side effects.

Side Effects and Warnings of Avena Sativa

Though true that most diet supplement ingredients have side affects it appears that Avena sativa has no known side effects. This is unlike the sometimes dangerous sexual prescription drugs. It is used as a nervous system general tonic as well as a general health tonic.

Avena sativa is often the primary ingredient in expensive sexual formulas and in the popular alternatives Herbal V, Cobra and Biogra. There is no need to purchase expensive herbal formulas. The pure herb is more powerful and is not expensive to use.

Avena sativa does not appear to interact with drugs so it is often used as a safe alternative to other herbs that are used for anxiety, such as St John's wort, which cannot be taken with many prescription medications. Avena sativa may also be of use in helping with drug withdrawal and is often combined with valerian and skullcap.
