*PLEASE NOTE:

Just to eliminate any confusion, the oat milk you can buy in cartons at the supermarket is not what is being described here. The above only describes the white, milky juice which comes from the actual immature seed, which is either made into a tincture or eaten directly.

Also, whilst there are no known negative side effects from using milky oats, those with Coeliac disease should avoid consuming oats in any form whatsoever.

We make no attempt to diagnose or treat anyone’s condition. We merely share information on how these plants have been and still are being used medicinally.
