Evening Primrose
by Judi Singleton
by cargo ship that were shipping cotton and soil was dumped and the
plant began to grow. It was quickly recognized and named in Europe the
"King Cureall" because of its many uses.
Some of the studies that have been done on Evening Primrose oil are on
PMS,Eczema and other skin disorders,Cholesterol and Blood
Pressure,Rheumatoid Arthritis,Alcoholism,Immune System,Obesity, Benign
Breast Disease, Childhood Hyperactivity and Schizophrenia have all been
shown to be helped by EPO supplementation.
Formerly cultivated for its nutritious edible roots, it is being
increasingly cultivated for the oil contained in its seeds which
contains certain the essential gamma-linoleinc acid (GLA), a very
valuable fatty acid that is not found in many plants and has numerous
vital functions in the body. GLA is an essential fatty acid that the
body does not manufacture. I personally have never used it except for a
supplement for brittle dry nails, it is also very good for the hair.
I also saw an improvement in my skin.
But the main reason I raise this herb is that it is beautiful and it
brings delicous smells to my evening garden. I just like to have it
around even if it was not good for medicianl uses I would invite it
into my garden.
