Have you ever wondered where the phrase “sowing your wild oats” came from? Well, it’s a fact that the sexually stimulating effects of oats have been known for years.

It has been widely reported that eating porridge oats can balance the hormones and boost testosterone levels, which has a direct effect on the libido.

However, oats are responsible for much more than that, according to “wise woman”, Susun Weed, who states that oats and oatstraw are a modern-day love potion.

It’s claimed that oats and oatstraw clear fatty deposits from the blood, lowering cholesterol levels and easing the beat of the heart. Weed says that that oats will nourish the nerves so that you receive more pleasure from touch, revitalise the glands so that hormones flow more readily and increase the blood flow so that it can circulate freely to the pelvis.

In addition, Oats can stabilise the blood sugar levels so that you’re not dropping off when the action heats up!

In her book, Healing Wise, Weed suggests a daily dose of fresh Oatstraw Tincture, or 1-4 cups of Oatstraw infusion every day, will act as a rejuvenator and love potion. Oatstraw baths are also recommended as a “delicious experience”.

If you don’t fancy that, however, perhaps a nice warm bowl of porridge in bed on a winter morning will do the trick!
