Name origin and Archeology.:

Oats have been eaten since prehistoric times. The genus name, Avena, is derived from Latin and means "nourishing". Sativa means "cultivated".

 Oat Straw is often planted to prevent soil erosion, and is widely distributed as a cereal crop. The fruit and straw are gathered at harvest time, typically in August. The stalks are cut and bound together, and then left upright to dry. The straw is just the crushed dry stalks. In the past, this plant was used in India to help opium, morphine and cigarette addicts kick their habits. Highly nutritive and supportive of the nervous system, Oat Straw helps build healthy bones, skin, hair and nails. Oat Straw is not a bona fide aphrodisiac, but it does nourish the nerves, making tactile sensations more pleasurable. Oat Straw is one of the best remedies for "feeding" the central nervous system, especially when under stress. It is considered a specific in cases of nervous debility and exhaustion, especially when associated with depression.

 Oat straw has long been used to fill mattresses and for feeding animals. It eventually became food for humans and a benefit medicinally for rheumatism sufferers.Culpeper stated, in 1652, that a poultice made from oat meal and the oil of bay helped the itch of leprosy. But not all were fans of the plant. Earlier, in 1597, Gerard stated that oatmeal was only good for making "a fair and well-coloured maid to look like a cake of tallow."
