Oat Tops (Avena sativa) are the immature seed heads of the oat plant, traditionally harvested during the milky stage when they contain their highest concentration of nourishing plant constituents. Long valued in Western herbalism, oat tops are considered one of the premier herbs for supporting the nervous system during periods of stress, exhaustion, and emotional fatigue.
