A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalist

This daily blog has been about the struggles of juggling motherhood with being a full-time student for the first eight months of its existence.  I still share some of my life now that I've graduated but I also share information each day on herbs that I've learned along this journey.   While my herbariums are listed for free membership, I provide four fields from them in my blog: Constituents (the active ingredients of the herbs), the therapeutic actions (Examples are expectorant and stimulant), indications (colds, skin rashes, emphysema, etc), and safety information. More information can be found in the herbariums but these are the most important educational fields.  I also share scientific studies to help educate people who think there are no studies showing herbs work.

Oats Constituents Day 2

The image above is from the class lesson I attended.

I finally got the herbarium posted a few minutes ago.  Most people have oats in their homes.  A nice boost to the immune system sounds good right about now.

New herb tomorrow if I can get it researched in time.  I still need to go out and check to see how my avocado tree did in the greenhouse over night.  They don't like it cold and it was chilly last night! Love and Light!

On to the constituents of oats.  The ones I was able to find in the text are:

Oligosaccharide (Carbohydrate) is water-soluble, especially hot water. Molecularly, these are bonds of 10 or less monosaccharides.  Hoffman talk about how these are often prebiotics.  While these are not bioavailable to our bodies, they feed the microflora in the human gut which helps keep our system healthy.  These prebiotics can be anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, hypolipidemic, and glucose-modulating (Hoffman, 2003, p. 41, 43; Ganora, 2009, p. 44, 63, 73, 77). (Oats)

Silicon: Hoffman questions the medicinal value of silicon as he was unable to find any studies discussing it as of the time he wrote this book.  He was unable to trace bioavailability (Hoffman, 2003, p. 14). (Oats)

Have a Great Day!
