This page provides basic information about evening primrose oil

Its common names, uses, potential side effects, and resources for more information. You can find much more information at the link shown below.

Evening primrose is a plant native to North America, but it grows in Europe and parts of the Southern hemisphere as well.

It has yellow flowers that bloom in the evening. Evening Primrose Oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid. Essential fatty acids are required by the body for growth and development, and must be obtained from the diet. Evening primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose. The oil is usually put into capsules for use.

Uses:

• Evening Primrose Oil has been used since the 1930s for eczema (a condition in which the skin becomes inflamed, itchy, or scaly because of allergies or other irritation).
• More recently it has been used for other conditions involving inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
• Evening primrose oil is used for conditions affecting women's health, such as breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle, menopausal symptoms, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
• It is used during pregnancy in attempts to shorten the duration of labor.
• Other conditions for which evening primrose oil is used include cancer and diabetes.

Evening primrose oil may have modest benefits for eczema, and it may be useful for rheumatoid arthritis and breast pain. However, study results are mixed, and most studies have been small and not well designed. Evening primrose oil does not appear to affect menopausal symptoms.

Although some clinical trials have shown a benefit of evening primrose oil for PMS, the best-designed trials found no effect. There is not enough evidence to support the use of evening primrose oil for other health conditions.
