Evening Primrose Oil:
WHAT IS EVENING PRIMROSE OIL?
Evening primrose is a North American native wild flower.
The evening primrose was first used medicinally by native
American healers as a treatment for wounds, coughs, bruises
and upset stomachs. Now,
Evening Primrose Oil is used to
treat a variety of conditions, ranging from eczema to
PMT/PMS.
HOW DOES EVENING PRIMROSE OIL WORK?
Evening Primrose Oil contains linolenic acid (LA) and
gamma linolenic acid (GLA), essential ingredients in the
production of prostaglandins within the human body.
Prostaglandins are hormone-like compounds. They are in
constant use throughout the body, controlling the way we
feel and rejuvenating cells. Prostaglandins cannot be
stored. They need to be replenished regularly.
The process of prostaglandin production can be blocked or
seriously slowed down by lifestyle and dietary factors.
Factors such as ageing, high cholesterol, stress, alcohol,
saturated fat intake, refined carbohydrates consumption and
viral infections are all relevant in prostaglandin
deficiency. Evening Primrose Oil may be beneficial in
ensuring adequate prostaglandin production.
Use Evening Primrose Oil for:
- relieving PMT/PMS
- skin problems such as eczema and dermatitis
- menopausal symptoms
- arthritic pain
- allergies
- lowering blood cholesterol levels
- reducing high blood pressure
- healthy skin
