Oatstraw

Oatstraw

Oatstraw is one of Susun's favorite herbs. Oatstraw (Avena sativa) reduces high cholesterol, increases libido, and strengthens the nerves. A cup of oatstraw infusion contains more than 300 milligrams of calcium plus generous amounts of many other minerals. Its steroidal saponins nourish the pancreas and liver, improving digestion and stabilizing moods.

Altitude sickness

Altitude sickness

A caller on blogtalkradio asks about what can be taken for altitude sickness. Susun says that Osha is an herb that helps us utilize oxygen and suggests a few drops of the tincture.
This audio is over 3:00 minutes long.
