Modern research revealed that the oil extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose is remarkably rich in Essential (‘Essential’ as the body cannot actually produce them) Fatty Acids (EFA’s) specifically, the Omega 6 Fatty Acid ‘GammaLinolenic Acid’ (GLA). These stores of GLA are what give Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) its therapeutic value.
The body converts GLA into hormone-like compounds called ‘prostaglandins’, which regulate a number of bodily functions; controlling inflammation in some cases and promoting it in others. Specifically, Evening Primrose Oil may help to relieve the symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and menstruation such as menstrual cramps and breast tenderness. Research at St Thomas Hospital in London found that when PMS sufferers were given EPO three times a day, 67% of participants were symptom-free and 22% achieved partial relief. (In all, 89% had positive results with EPO).
If you suffer from any of the following you would benefit from supplementing with EPO:
Joint pain and inflammation associated with arthritis or similar
Poor immunity
Skin conditions such as ‘eczema,’ ‘rosacea,’ ‘psoriasis’ and acne.
Unhealthy looking nails, skin, scalp and hair
Reproductive disorders (Male or Female)
Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms such as menstrual cramps and breast tenderness.
