Avena Sativa herb, oats extract benefit for sexual enhancement, how well does it work?
Avena sativa extract is available as a supplement

Avena sativa is the scientific name for the grass commonly known as oats. Avena sativa has been used medicinally since the middle ages, yet no reference to any aphrodisiac benefit has ever been noted or documented in several hundred years of use. In our opinion, this extract from oats may have mild aphrodisiac benefits, but there are more potent herbs or herbal formulas available to improve sexual function and pleasure.

Claims regarding Avena Sativa herb
Promoters say avena sativa frees up bound testosterone to free testosterone in the blood, making it more active. However, I have not come across any published studies that prove this point, nor have I come across any studies published in the medical literature regarding the effectiveness of avena sativa as a sex booster.

Most claims for avena sativa rest on research conducted during the 1980s by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, which markets a line of avena sativa products. According to an article in Nutrition Action Healthletter, the one study on men and women that compared avena sativa to a placebo was never published in a peer-reviewed journal. Institute head Ted McIlvenna, says "in part because we didn't want our competitors citing it to sell their own products." But that hasn't stopped erroneous accounts of the research from circulating.

Yet when you analyze a summary of the study provided by McIlvenna, it's impossible to tell whether there was any meaningful difference between the avena-sativa-takers and the placebo-takers. One finding was clear, though. The 25 women who completed the study did better on the placebo. McIlvenna says that as a result of the study, the Institute reformulated its product for women. But he declined to release the details of a second study, in women only, that he claims shows that the reformulated product works.

Avena sativa herb questions
Can avena sativa be used safely by someone with high blood pressure?
    We have not seen any human studies with avena sativa that evaluated the influence of this herbal extract on blood pressure, so we don't know. Generally if a person uses low dosages of herbs, there is little likelihood of any significant influence on blood pressure.
