Evening primrose oil belongs to the family of Onagraceae, and its common name comes from the fact that its yellow flowers mainly open at night. The seeds of this plant, after cold pressing, yield a small amount of a valuable oil. This oil owes its significant therapeutic effectiveness to its high content of essential fatty acids, mainly gamma-linolenic acid (10%) and linoleic acid (70%).

The high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) acts as a precursor to prostaglandins E1 and works against the protein prolactin. Elevated levels of prolactin are largely responsible for the appearance of disorders associated with premenstrual syndrome. Evening primrose oil is now a well-established and valuable aid in alleviating symptoms such as:

Menstrual pain, breast tenderness, and bloating due to water retention

Migraines

Mood disturbances (anxiety, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, depression)

Diabetes: It is effective for the treatment of diabetic neuropathies, which involve pain and/or numbness caused by nerve damage.

Heart and Cholesterol: Reduces blood serum cholesterol levels and limits platelet aggregation (blood clotting), even in individuals following a high-fat diet.

Blood Pressure: GLA from evening primrose oil significantly lowers blood pressure and may help prevent the development of hypertension.

Skin Problems: Successfully used in patients with atopic eczema, providing significant clinical improvement in dermatitis, especially at higher doses.

Multiple Sclerosis: Helps restore the abnormal structure of fatty acids found in MS patients to normal levels within a few months.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Contributes to reducing the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with chronic arthritis, and combining it with fish oil further enhances its effectiveness.
