Oat is typically available as a tea, tincture, or capsule.

Primary constituents include saponins, flavonoids, starch,
alkaloids (trigonelline, avenine), steroids, calcium,
iron, B-Vitamins, lysine, and methionine.

Oat has been used historically
as an antispasmodic, nervine, and stimulant.

Oats are used primarily for their nutritional value;
they are of particular benefit in special diets
for convalescents or for those with certain illnesses,
including gastronenteritis and dyspepsia.
