Lipidami™ Oat

Oats are one of the earliest cultivated cereals in the Near East and Europe.. In the past, oats were commonly used to feed draught animals, particularly horses, because of their nutritional value. The hulled grains called 'groats' are processed to make porridges and 'Oat flakes'. Porridges made of oat groats were a staple food of ancient Germanic and Scottish people, who still eat oat porridge nowadays. In the Middles Ages, a poultice made with oat flour and oil was used to relieve scabies and leprosy. Herbalists have used oats as an herbal tea or a homeopathic mother tincture to treat various ailments since the 17th Century. Oats possess fortifying qualities. Externally, oat groats have been included as an ingredient in care products for the body and poultices to soothe itches and eczema for more than a century. This plant symbolises abundance and material wealth. The oily extract of oat bran is rich in lipids with emollient properties.
