Evening Primrose is a wild flower native to North America, so called because its flowers open at dusk. Although the plant and its root have a long history of medicinal use, it is only in recent times that the plant's seed oil has been used.The seed oil contains Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is naturally produced in the body and is converted to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins that are hormone-like compounds. It is this anti-inflammatory nature of GLA that accounts for most of its therapeutic effects.
Evening Primrose Oil: Main Benefits
The muscular body of the uterus contracts during a menstrual period to help expel the uterus lining. In some women the contractions can be very strong causing severe discomfort. Studies have shown that evening primrose oil is especially effective at blocking the inflammatory prostaglandins that cause menstrual cramps.PMS symptoms including breast tenderness.
Evening Primrose Oil: Lesser-Known Benefits
The anti-inflammatory properties of Evening Primrose Oil have made it a chosen supplement for rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions involving inflammation such as rosacea, acne and muscle strain.Another leading use of Evening Primrose Oil is for eczema sufferers. Eczema can develop if a person has trouble converting fats from food into Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Studies have shown that taking a source rich in high quality GLA,such as evening primrose oil, can reduce the need for steroid creams and drugs with unpleasant side-effects.
