Avena Sativa

[lauralulu]

I had some a while ago when I was suffering with anxiety (which was probably actually the onset of POTS I believe now as it happened after 'the virus' I had, after which so many other health issues occurred!).

I was thinking of getting some again and so read about it, and it sounds like it could benefit some of us as it's a nervous system tonic, and can help with poor sleep (yes please!).

Here's some info, in case anyone else thinks of giving it a whirl.

I think you may want to research this a little more. What i've found said its usually used as a replacement for prescription erection enhancement. If thats true I don't think it'll help you sleep.

Well I looked at both sites and it does say it could help with sexual dysfunction (could be a plus LOL) and with nervous tension so I would be willing to give it a shot. My only problem is no matter what it is I try if it's supposed to "relax" you I usually end of feeling so weird I quit taking it! :-(
