Modern research has revealed that the oil extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose is remarkably rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) specifically, the Omega 6 Fatty Acid ‘GammaLinolenic Acid’ (GLA). It is this GLA that gives 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).
Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, as are people with low thyroid function, poor dietary habits, high alcohol consumption and people whose bodies are generally under stress. EPO is therefore particularly valuable as it provides a direct source, taking pressures off the body to produce the necessary amount for optimum health.
If you suffer from any of the following you may be deficient in GLA and would benefit from supplementing with EPO:
• Joint pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
• 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.
