Evening primrose oil

The oil of Evening primrose (oenothera biennis) is often taken by form of a capsule but can also be applied to the skin.  It is often used to treat menstrual and pre menstrual problems, eczema and psoriasis.

Evening primrose contains high level of Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) an essential fatty acid, which the body needs to manafacture certain hormones.  Skin conditions often respond well to GLA rich oils which also  include Rosehip oil.
